past simple: verb + ed / irregular verbs            
used when something finished in the past

past continuous: was/were + verb + ing           
used when something was going on for a longer period of time in the past, or to indicate that something was going on and was interrupted by something else (in combination with past simple)

past perfect: had + past participle (verb + ed / irregular)
