Simple past tense: She drank water when you called.
Past continuous tense: She was drinking water when you were calling.
The above sentences are known as two verb tense systems meaning they contain two verbs in the same sentence. In such a case, we must find out whether the two verbs are occurring at the same time.
If we assume the two verbs were occurring at the same time, the tense form of the two verbs remains the same or remains consistent.
Therefore, we convert both verbs to the simple past tense. We do this by using the past form of the verb to fill in the blanks. The past form of the verbs in the brackets are drank and called.
In the past continuous tense, we use the continuous form of the verbs in the bracket along with the suitable clause. The past continuous form of the verbs are 'was drinking' and 'were calling'.
