8. Past Simple Vs Past Continuous
Here's a quick reminder of the rules of using past simple and past continuous together In this sentence there are two verbs: I was watching television when he arrived. The first action is a long action - it lasted for a period of time. We therefore use the past continuous. The second action is a short action that has interrupted the first. So for this we need past simple!
