Never had practised/Had never practised

Hello!

The 8th question.
Could you help me please?
Is "never had practised" the same as "had never practised"

Thank you for any reply.

Hello
This adverb of frequency should be :

Before the lexical verb.
I never smoke, I often saw him.

So, between the auxiliary verb and the lexical verb.
I will never accept. I have never seen that film.

Before the auxiliary verb when it replaces the lexical verb in short answers or tags.
Will you always love me? Yes I always will.
Do you sometimes smoke? Yes, I sometimes do.

He always complains. Does he? I never do.

Behind to be.
He is always late. He is often complaining.

In your sentence he NEVER had practised, it would be a form of insistance.

In British English, practice is a noun and to practise is a verb.
