      Can we also use the preterite form of estar in the past progressive tense?

      por ejemplo:
      Algunos estudiantes estuvieron hablando mientras su maestra estuvo explicando la lección(Some students were talking while their teacher was explaining the lesson)

      ¡Gracias por leer mi pregunta! :-)
