Can I use past continuous when I talked about an action that happened in the past in a period time or should I use past perfect continuous and can you tell me if my sentences and explanations are correct?
1) I was working in a hotel for two years when I was a student. ( I worked in the hotel for 2 years and when I was working there I was a student.)
2) I had been working in a hotel for two years when I was a student. ( I started working there in the past and keep working there until I became a student.)
