Explicación:

Antes de nada hay que tener una noción de dichos tiempos verbales.

El pasado simple se usa para acciones acabadas.

Ej: I ate

Traducción : Yo comí

Generalmente suelen usarse con partículas de tiempo pasadas, es decir, yesterday (ayer), in 1656 (una fecha pasada), etc.

El pasado continuo se usa para acciones que se llevaron a cabo en el pasado pero no se llegaron a terminar.

Ej: I was eating

Traducción (son tres)

Yo estaba comiendo

Yo estaba comiendo Yo estuve comiendo

Yo estaba comiendo Yo estuve comiendo Yo comía

Una vez, sepamos esto, ¿Cómo sabemos cuál debemos usar?

Pues es muy sencillo,hay que tener en cuenta esto.

Si aparece when indica que hay que usar Pasado simple

Si aparece while nos da a entender que hay que emplear un Pasado continuo.
