Let's go to page 128. Look at the information about the Past Continuous.
*Remember: We use the past continuous for long past actions. Its equivalent in Spanish is the pretérito imperfecto or a perífrasis verbal:

Llovía cuando salí de trabajar. (pretérito imperfecto)
Estaba lloviendo cuando salí de trabajar. (perífrasis verbal)
*Remember: We often use the past continuous to desribe a past situation, especially at the beginning of a story.
