She came home, switched on the computer and checked her e-mails. When you use SIMPLE PAST you express that the actions in the past happened one after another She came home, switched on the computer and checked her e-mails. When you use Past Continuous the actions in the past happened at the same time Simon was playing on the computer while his brother was watching TV. ChiaraSbarbada2015

When you use SIMPLE PAST When you use Past Continuous you only want to mention that an action took place in the past Colin played football yesterday. When you use Past Continuous You want to put emphasis on the progress, e.g. that an action was taking place at a certain time Yesterday at six o'clock, Colin was playing football. ChiaraSbarbada2015
