Put the verbs into Past Simple or Past Continuous.
The rules
Present Simple

1. We use the Past Simple tense for completed actions, events or states. These will have taken place within a finished period of time.

I drew a picture yesterday.

2. The Past Simple tense is also used to talk about certain periods of finished time. In some cases these can be specific.

They were famous in 1996.

3. It can also be used for time periods that are less specific.

My parents were together for many years.

I lived with Mary for a long time.

4. Some verbs are regular as they have a definite pattern to their endings.

Live — lived, play — played, hurry — hurried.

5. Irregular verbs are called so because they don't fit a particular pattern. This means that you just have to get to know and learn over time how the past tense form is created.

Eat — ate, draw — drew, swim — swam.

Present Continuous

Past Continuous (also called Past Progressive) is used in several different ways:

1. interrupted actions in the past;

2. parallel actions in the past.

We make Past Continuous by using the past tense of the verb "to be" (was/were) and the present participle (the -ing form) of the main verb:

subject + was/were + present participle.

I was working when you called.

They were kissing when her father entered the room.

Note! Stative verbs are not usually used in the continuous form.
