Yesterday I wanted to watch a film on TV. I quickly finished my homework. Then I went into the living room. But when I got there, I saw that my parents were talking and they were making a lot of noise. I asked them to be quiet but they told me to turn off the TV and go upstairs to my room. When I went upstairs, my sister was watching the same film on the TV in her bedroom, so we decided to watch the film together. When my parents came upstairs half an hour later, my sister and I were talking, so I never did see the film!

Вчера я хотел посмотреть фильм по телевизору. Я быстро закончил домашнее задание. Потом я пошёл в гостиную. Но когда я туда пришёл, я увидел, что родители разговаривали и шумели. Я попросил их вести себя потише, но они велели мне выключить телевизор и подняться к себе в комнату. Когда я поднялся наверх, моя сестра смотрела тот же фильм по телевизору в своей спальне, поэтому мы решили посмотреть его вместе. Когда родители поднялись наверх полчаса спустя, мы с сестрой разговаривали, так что я так и не посмотрел фильм!

Past Continuous описывает происходившие в тот момент действия (were talking, were making, was watching, were talking); Past Simple — последовательные завершённые действия.
