Explanation:

(sentence:  Aliza found fragments of ancient pottery)

There are three tenses in english. There's Past, present, and future.

These show something being at a certain point in time, like,

"I was eating that in 1987 but then you stole it and fed it to the dog"

However, these can't always be clear as to a very specific point in time, like,

"I was eating that, until you stole it and fed it to the dog."

So, it's a simple verb, because it shows an action, but it isn't pinpointing a specific moment in time.
