When this happens, the 1st action takes the past continuous and the 2nd
action takes the past simple, which interrupts the first
We often find “when”, “while” with the past continuous
When we were watching TV, the lights went off
(1st: you were watching TV. 2nd: the lights went off)
The phone rang while I was having a shower
(1st: I was having a shower. 2nd: the pone rang)
