Differences in meaning:
When you got home, I cooked dinner. = I started after you got home (but very quickly after).
When you got home, I was cooking dinner. = I was in the middle of cooking. I started before you got home and finished after you got home.
(When you got home, I had [already] cooked dinner. = I started and finished before you got home.)
---
Other conjunctions for simple past and past continuous:

When you got home, I was cooking. = I was cooking when you got home.
While I was cooking, you got home. = You got home while I was cooking.

Remember, some verbs are not actions. They don’t take any time and can’t be continuous.
I had a bicycle. NOT I was having a bicycle.
I wanted lunch. NOT I was wanting lunch.

Other verbs are actions, but they’re usually finished very quickly. If nothing else happens during an action, we don’t need to use continuous.
I fell off my bicycle. USUALLY NOT I was falling off my bicycle.
---
What were you doing when you fell off your bike? = What were you doing before you fell?
What did you do when you fell off your bike? = What did you do after the fall (in reaction to the fall)?

Grammar: past perfect

form: subject + had + past participle
meaning: “past of the past”; past events that happened before something else in the past
	(We use past perfect if the “focus” is on the later event.)

paragraph 1 - the focus is on the time of the expedition to find the shipwreck; things that happeend before the expedition are past perfect
paragraph 2 - the focus is on the time when they discovered the Titanic and realized what it was; things that happened before the discovery are past perfect
paragraph 3 - the focus is on the time Ballard returned to the Titanic in 2004; things that happened before the return are past perfect
---

1 was
2 began
3 had discovered
4 felt
5 had sunk
6 hit
7 had already made

part 4a - What words does James use in the blog post instead of the bolded words in these sentences?
ran = rushed down
started to shine = came out
got = jumped

went = headed
“rush”, “jump”, and “grab” are more interesting and maybe more dramatic because they give some information about how the action happened.
grab = pick up quickly, often something that’s already prepared
jump into = get into very quickly and excitedly
rush = run quickly; hurry
---
part 4b - What words in the blog have these meanings?
pouring = raining heavily, like in a storm
(got there = arrived)

staring = looking intently with a lot of focus

boiling = very hot
collapsed = fall straight down without support
exhausted = very tired
