Past Continuous
Use was/were + verb-ing for an action that was in progress at a point in the past.
I was watching TV at 8 p.m.
They were playing when it started to rain.
She was cooking dinner.
Use was with I/he/she/it and were with you/we/they. It often shows the background action when another (past simple) action happened.
Common mistake: "We was playing." Use were with we/you/they: "We were playing."
