The forms of Past Simple and Past Continuous Tense

How do we form Past Simple and Past Continuous?

For past simple tense, there isn't any speciality in its form. We use the second form (past simple form ) of the verb. For Past Continuous tense, we use was or were as helping verbs and also the main verb takes "-ing" form.

For example...

What were you doing at five yesterday?
