Hi everybody! If I want to describe habit taking place in temporary time frame, should I use Past Simple or Past Continuous? e.g. "Last summer I was palying football every day" or "Last summer I played football every day." Thanks in advance for your help.

We use the Past Continuous mostly to show that an action in the past was interrupted:
"Last summer I was playing football when I broke my leg"
"I was watching TV when she called."
