I was sleeping when the fire broke out.

In the above solution, we see the usage of the past continuous tense.

• Tenses are words that signify or portray the time or tenure of an activity, event, or phenomenon.
• For example, It rained yesterday. Here, the word 'rained' is in the simple past tense.
• By this, we understand that the phenomenon or event that is being spoken about has already ended and thus, is in the past.

Thus, we understand that the action that is being spoken about in the question should be in the past continuous tense.
