Good question Abdelkader. The past continuous tense is used to talk about past events that went on for a period of time. If they were just past events, we could use the past simple tense. If the events happened in the past and continue to happen now, in that case, we would use the present perfect tense. We often use it to show and action that was happening in the past and it was cut or interrupted by another action such as: When I was watching the match, Abdelkader came in. I hope this helps.
