Bonjour
prétérit simple = pour une action passée terminée, une action soudaine
prétérit Be + V-ing = pour une action passée qui "était en train de se faire"
1- He was waiting outside when he saw a shadow.
2- I was sure something was going on.
3- A few years later, they abandoned the castle.
4- When I opened the door, she was sitting on my bed.
5- And then, his hands began to tremble.
Bonne journée ☺☺☺
