For someone who only posts insulting others and correcting (incorrectly a bunch too….) their grammar, you sure lack any amount of reading comprehension.
Its always the loudest people who are the most guilty, I appreciate the lengths you go to prove this is still true.
I’d : contraction I + had, past participle active. Indicative of something having been done by the subject (in first person) in the past.
"I did something I had never done (before / in the past).
“Before” is not implied.
It is
Nope.
Looks like everyone but you understood it correctly - maybe you should brush up on your language comprehension skills?
Maybe y’all could try having a sense of humor about things.
Wrongly calling someone out while being too fragile to accept correction isn’t a “sense of humor”.
I’m not the one too fragile to accept correction.
Uh, it’s right there. So yeah, you clearly are. Right here in this very thread.
Okay, nooow I’m blocking the troll…
Take an English class, I’m sure YouTube has a good video explaining it (basically there are different “degrees” of past tense, did / had done etc.)
It’s still not implicit just because you inferred it.
Well the word “before” doesn’t need to implicit. The “had” in I’d is more than enough past for the sentence to make sense
No, that simply indicated that they had not done the thing, i.e. at all.
i.e. at all before that time
No, they never said “before.”

In the English language, an action I “had done” is before an action I “did.” It’s a grammatical case, not an inference.
He stated that he had not done it, not that he had not done it before.
No native English speaker would say it like that. You’d say “doing something I never even did”.
