The form of verb or we can say the tense/mood used to be used is the Past Continous Tense. The person is saying that when he entered, the other person was writing a letter. The continous tense is used when an action is going on at the time of speaking. This can be past, present and future depending upon the time or form of the sentence.

Past Continous tense is used when in the past, an action was going on. It is being described now.

Form:-

$\normalsize{\bold{ \boxed{ \rm{ \pink{Subject + was \: or \: were + (Verb + ing)}}}}}$

♦️ Note:-

Past continous is often used together with the Simple past tense when two clauses in the Past tense are joined with 'When' or 'Where'.
