Utilizamos el past simple para hablar sobre acciones que ocurrieron en el pasado.
Por ejemplo: I wrote an article for the newspaper.
Utilizamos el past continuous para hablar sobre acciones que estaban ocurriendo en el pasado.
Por ejemplo: I was writing an article for the newspaper.
Normalmente, utilizamos while antes del past continuous y when antes del past simple.
Por ejemplo: While I was writing, my sister brought me some cakes.
When I caught the ball, I heard an applause.
Así que podríamos traducir while como mientras y when como cuando.
