past continuous

uses:
The past continuous is usually used when one action began before another, and finished after it.
I was reading when he arrived.
We can also use the tense when we talk about an action that had already started and was still continuing at a particular time:
At five o'clock, it was raining.
Finally, we can use this tense to describe TWO actions that were BOTH continuing at the same time in the past. In this case, we use the past continuous for both actions:
While I was sleeping, she was working.
