    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.)

        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

                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’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.

                    And just had an interaction yesterday, so had to see what was new with them. Again, my apologies for bringing this to your attention, wasn’t bringing an argument in.

        In the English language, an action I “had done” is before an action I “did.” It’s a grammatical case, not an inference.
