The tenses are aligned in Russian, so they should be aligned in English as well while you’re jumping between Past Progressive and Past Simple. Ответить
I believe the problem is not in Russian, but in English grammar. Connecting past continuous and simple past with «and» seems to be wrong Ответить
Think of думала as a past tense. Most words with a л at the end tend to be past tense. Obviously not absolutely every time but most. Ответить

Думала- was thinking
Подумала — thought
thought — подумал (один раз)
thinking — думать (продолжительное время)
