Answer:

The imperfect is a verb form that combines past tense and imperfective aspect. It can have meanings similar to the English "was walking" or "used to walk." It contrasts with preterite forms, which refer to a single completed event in the past

The past continuous is formed from the past tense of "to be" with the base of the main verb plus the ending "-ing" form of the verb. ... The past continuous tense is "was watching." Another example of this tense is: We were playing football when he sprained his wrist last week. The past continuous tense is "were playing."
