Past continuous

We use the past continuous when we was doing something and the action didn't finish. Example:
- I was living in French.

We often use the past simple and the past continuous together. Example:
- I was playing counter strike when I met Paula.

We build the question form with was/were + person + infinitive verb + ing. Example:
