My friend was telling me a funny story. He felt like he needed a break, so he took a weekend trip. He was staying in a cheap hotel and his room didn’t have a bathroom. He had to share one bathroom with two other rooms. During the night, he got up to use the bathroom. He didn’t lock the door of his room or take his key.

Past Simple употребляется для завершённых последовательных действий, а Past Continuous — для действия, происходившего в определённый момент в прошлом. Состояния обычно выражаются простой формой прошедшего времени.

Перевод рассказа: Мой друг рассказывал мне забавную историю. Он почувствовал, что ему нужен перерыв, поэтому отправился в поездку на выходные. Он остановился в недорогом отеле, и в его номере не было ванной комнаты. Ему пришлось пользоваться одной ванной комнатой вместе с жильцами ещё двух номеров. Ночью он встал, чтобы сходить в ванную. Он не запер дверь своего номера и не взял ключ. Когда он возвращался в свой номер, он попытался открыть дверь, но она была заперта. Тогда он спустился к стойке регистрации и попросил ключ, хотя на нём было только нижнее бельё. Сотрудники взяли ключ и открыли номер, но внутри кто-то спал! Мой друг пытался попасть не в тот номер! Затем он попробовал открыть соседний номер. Он оказался не заперт, и там были его сумки. Ему было ужасно неловко!
