We can use one and the same comment for the use of two tenses (the past Simple and the past continuous):
This tense is used to talk about an action that lasted for a period of time in the past.
Examples:
1) It rained for several days and nights.
2) It was raining all night.
How can I explain the difference in use between these two tenses to my students?
