Hi,
Can I start talking about myself like this? I think, but not sure, that two options are possible here:
I had been/was a lorry driver for 3 years. I decided to quit that job and find another one. I am happy with the job I have now ...
I think I can use had been (that's to say before I quitted). In this case the sentence with had been is an abbreviation of a full one: I had been a lorry driver for 3 years before I quitted.
I think I can also use was without any additional information. With out conveying any additional information.
Both options are correct, aren't they?
