Explanation:

To make past continuous, we use past form of 'be'verb (was/were) and the present participle of the main verb.( v1+ing). The construction is like,

Sub + was/were + v¹ing + obj (positive sentence)

Sub + was/were + not + v¹ing + obj (negative sentence)

was/were + sub + v¹ing + obj (interrogative sentence)
