Grammar
Past perfect continuous and past perfect
Hello,
I wanted to make a sentence but I'm not sure if it's grammatically correct.I had studied English in Britain before I studied English in Italy.And if I wanna say that I continued learning English for 5 years in Britain and then I went to Italy and learned English there should I say;I had been studying English for 5 years in Britain before I studied English in Italy.And can I say;I had been studying English for 5 years in Britain before I had been studying English for 2 years in Italy.
Thank you,

If you use 'before', you do not need past perfect. Use this: I studied English for 5 years in Britain before I studied English in Italy.
- If you use 'before', you do not need past perfect.
- Use this: I studied English for 5 years in Britain before I studied English in Italy.
