The first sentence is in the affirmative form, and we use the Past Progressive of the verb "cry" (cry → was crying) to indicate that the baby was continuously crying throughout the night. In the second sentence, we use the negative form and the Past Progressive of the verb "cry" (cry → wasn't crying) to indicate that the baby was not crying, but instead, he was screaming.

In this sentence, we use the Past Progressive tense to talk about two simultaneous actions that were happening in the past.

The second action (me studying) is indicated by the Past Progressive of the verb "study" (study → was studying).

The first person asks what the second person was doing at ten o'clock last night, and the second person responds by using the Past Progressive of the verb "watch" (watch → was watching) to indicate that they were continuously watching the news on TV at that time.
