TheOneWithTheHairA good deal of IT work, too
shiroininjaI literally made money on a contract this year doing something I’d never even done. Thank you google. Love it
You never did it, but still made money for claiming that you had?
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.
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.”
For someone who only posts insulting others and correcting (incorrectly a bunch too….) their grammar, you sure lack any amount of reading comprehension.
Striker@[email protected] I see a lot of toxic behaviour from you here and I will be keeping a closer eye on you in the future.
As you @[email protected] try not to bring disputes started in other comment chains into this one.
I’ve tried just reporting them before. Doesn’t seem to do anything, so sorry for having to point it out. See this person all over Lemmy in lots of communities.
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 English speaker would say it life that. You’d say “doing something I never even did”
No English speaker would say it like you said.
