Problems with the English tenses? Have a look at the time line, it might help you understand when to use which tense. As there is a similarity between past, present and future tenses, there are just a few rules to keep in mind.

If you know how to use the present progressive correctly to express present actions, you will as well be able to use the past progressive correctly to express past actions

moment in time
action that takes place once, never or several times
actions that happen one after another
actions that suddenly take place

period of time
action that started before a certain moment and lasts beyond that moment
actions taking place at the same time

Result
action taking place before a certain moment in time
puts emphasis on the result

Course / Duration
action taking place before a certain moment in time
puts emphasis on the course or duration of the action
I hope that is helpful
