We use the past simple to describe finished events in the past.
Noi folosim trecutul pentru a descrie actiuni ce au fost facute in trecut.
EXEMPLU: John PLAYED football last week.
John A JUCAT fotbal saptamana trecuta.
The past continuous describes a continuing situation in the past. We often interrupt a continuing situation with a sudden event.
EXEMPLU: Steve WAS EATING in the restaurant.
Steve A MANCAT la restaurant.
