“I’d” equals “I had” (as, I had taken no pleasure...or, I had never asked to go). Why do you use passè composé instead of plus que parfait?

Hi Dorothy,

The answers suggested are -

'Je n'en avais tiré aucun plaisir'

or

'Je n'y avais pris aucun plaisir'

which are in the plus-que-parfait.

In your suggestions you have two past participles, 'eu' + 'pris'

and, 'eu' + 'demandé' which is wrong.

For revision of how to form the pluperfect, take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson:

Hope this helps!
