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
