Past simple and continuous???!

1. I was still lying when I saw a lorry approaching. 2. Luckily the driver saw me and stopped. 3. How did you damage you car? I ran into a lamp post. I suppose you were driving too quickly or were not looking where you were going. 4. As he was getting into the bus it started suddenly and he fell backwards on to the road. 5. I called Paul at 7:00 but it wasn't necessary because he had already got up. 6. When he was mending the fuse he got a very bad shock. 7. When I heard his knock I went to the door and opened it but I didn't recognize him at first because I wasn't wearing my glasses.
