    We often use it to describe a "background action" when something else happened.

    I was walking in the street when I suddenly fell over.

    She was talking to me on the phone and it suddenly went dead.

    They were still waiting for the plane when I spoke to them.

    The company was declining rapidly before he took charge.

    We were just talking about it before you arrived.

    I was making a presentation in front of 500 people when the microphone stopped working.
