Explicación:

We use Past continuous for a longer actions

We use Past simple for a shorter actions

E.g. I was having dinner when the phone rang

I was having dinner it’s a longer action

when the phone rang it’s a shorter action

For Past Simple it’s very common use “when” BEFORE Past Simple

For Past Continuous it’s very common use “while” BEFORE Past Continuous
