In this way, estaba cocinando matches the imperfect progressive because estaba stands for the third person singular in the imperfect and cocinando is the present participle of the verb cocinar.

We choose the preterite because this tense talks about actions that were completed at a certain moment in the past. Finally, the sentence means:

On the other hand, estaba jugando stands for the imperfect progressive. Finally, we can translate this sentence as follows:

I hurt my ankle when I was playing soccer

C) to express an ongoing action in the past that is interrupted
