The document discusses the past progressive (past continuous) tense and simple past tense. It provides three main uses: 1) to indicate an interrupted action in the past, 2) to indicate an interruption by a specific time, and 3) to express simultaneous or parallel actions happening at the same time. For actions in sequence, the simple past is used without the past progressive. Time expressions can also be used with time clauses for sentence variety.

The past continuous tense expresses an action that was ongoing or in progress at a specific time in the past. It is used to "set the scene" by describing background details or multiple parallel actions happening simultaneously. There are several key uses of the past continuous tense: to indicate an interrupted ongoing past action, to emphasize a specific interrupting time, to describe parallel past actions, to create an atmospheric description, or to express repetition or irritation with words like "always." Care must be taken to not use non-continuous or mixed verbs in the past continuous form.
