A good deal of IT work, too - Lemmy.World

I 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.
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.
