Thanks this is helpful....I think I am struggling with how can an event that was ongoing in the past not have an end. ANd so that since mind is working this way, I think preterite .. Maybe you can help clear up my confusion....Take the last one,,,"I was content"..Is it because even though now he may not be content, we don't know precisely when his feeling of contentedness ended ?
If he had said, I was content for an hour, then it would have been preterite ?
