Hi, there

If someone asks “Who never got an F before?”, should you say “I didn’t” or “I haven’t”?

And should you say “Who never got or who has never gotten an F before”?

Thank you

please

Answer

But should I say “I didn’t” or “I haven’t”?

Answer

Although "got" is grammatically correct, I dislike the overuse of the word. First question that you asked is poor grammatically since it ends in the preposition before. It could simply be asked. Who has/had never received an F.  I would use that same sentence for the second one.
