How 聞いてた differs from 聞いた in this context?


I think ていた/ている is often used in the following context.

> A：Bla Bla Bla  
>  A：話、聞い **てた** ？  
>  B：ごめん。聞い **てなかった** 。ちょっと、ボーッとし **てた**

Another context

> A said something to B before he left, but B didn't hear it.  
>  B: Aさん、何か言った？Cは聞い **てた** 。Aさんはなんて言っていたのかな？  
>  C: ええ、今の聞い **ていなかった** の？

I think てた/てる might refer to a particular period or time, but I wonder if た is
possible in the same context.

Will 聞いた and ボーッとした ever be used here?




聞いてた sounds like "Are you listening?" 聞いた is closer to "Did you hear about
that?"
