Respuesta:
La diferencia entre pasado simple y pasado continuo en inglés. El pasado continuo se forma con was / were más el gerundio (la forma -ing del verbo). Usamos el pasado simple par narrar acontecimientos puntuales en el pasado, y el pasado continuo para para ambientar o hablar de cosas que duraron cierto tiempo.
Explicación:
Eso es un uso básico del pasado simple: acciones puntuales y terminadas.
I went to Paris last summer.
The bus stopped and I got on.
He ate a sandwich for lunch.
Más ejemplos del pasado simple y pasado continuo – en todas estas frases se habla de una acción larga, y otra corta que pasa en el medio:
I was living in New York when I met Kathy.
They were working in the garden when it started raining.
She was eating lunch when the phone rang.
He was already working when I finished university.
I was sleeping when she arrived.
ara formar la negativa en pasado simple, usamos didn’t y el verbo en infinitivo.
He arrived early. He didn’t arrive late.
She went to Rome. She didn’t go to Paris.
They walked to the museum. They didn’t take the bus.
La pregunta se hace poniendo did antes del sujeto.
What time did he arrive?
Where did she go?
How did they get to the museum?
Para hacer la negación en pasado continuo se usa wasn’t / weren’t.
I was walking home. I wasn’t walking to work.
She wasn’t sleeping, she was working.
He wasn’t eating lunch, he was having a beer with his friends.
Y se hace la pregunta con el auxiliar antes del sujeto.

Where were you going when your car broke down?
Were you sleeping when I called?
