Two past tenses, the preterite and the imperfect - how do we know which one to use when we are communicating about the past?

The preterite v. the imperfect simplified:

Use the preterite except:

# 1: If, in the context of the sentence, it makes more sense to say, in English: was/were + verb-ing OR used to + verb, use the imperfect.

# 2: Time/date, age & other descriptions in the past use the imperfect.
