Help with sequence of tenses

Question

"I did such things which I never should do in the future". Do I use correct construction? Please correct me. Thanks a lot.

Sometimes, simpler is better.

I've done things that I would never do again.
You need to use the word "future." It's already implied.

Thanks. Can I say: I did some things and unlikely I should do.
And why do you use "would" instead of will? Is it correct according sequence of tenses? Please don't understand me as pain in the neck simply i want to use correct English =) thanks a lot

You can't say it that way (using and) because it is incomplete and doesn't make sense.
You can say, "I did some things that I should not do." Try to keep it simpler, for now.

Would and will have slight differences, but they have become interchangeable in cases like these. I used would because I may change my mind in the future or be tempted to do some things I shouldn't. If I use will, I express more conviction, more certainty -- it's like I'm making a "promise."

As far as simple tenses are concerned, will cannot be used to refer to something in the past.

Don't worry, people are here to help whenever they can.
