The reason given for the imparfait in "mes mains n'arrêtait pas de trembler" is continuing action, but the lesson teaches that continuing action

would translate as: mes mains were not stopping trembling. I get very confused over this particular usage. Most of the use of imparfait that I get wrong are due to this rule. Could you explain it better?
