I can describe past news events using the imperfect continuous with ‘cuando’ ('when') and the preterite tense for interruptions.
Muuji qoraalka
The preposition 'de' joins two nouns to describe a type of something, e.g. ‘un billete de avión’ ('a plane ticket').
We use 'estar' in the present tense + present participle to talk about ongoing events; this is the present continuous.
'Estar' in the imperfect + present participle describes what someone was doing; this is the imperfect continuous.
Sometimes an action interrupts what someone was doing. We use 'cuando' followed by the preterite to express this.
