Correct answers:

• 1. The city was founded in the 18th century.
• 2. I wanted to see you yesterday.
• 3. We had met with her before last Monday.
• 4. I was writing a letter when the lights went out.
• 5. They saw Carol at the party.
• 6. He burnt his hand when he was cooking dinner.

Here we use past forms because the actions happened in the past. In sentence 3, had met shows that the meeting happened before another past moment. In sentences 4 and 6, was writing and was cooking show actions in progress.
