Is this correct?

I had never won any type of awards.
  

Top answer

The tense of this sentence suggests that this is no longer true. If you say: "I have never won any type of awards", then you mean up to this point. Technically, you need to complete this sentence, like: until I started college or until I started to take up running because past perfect involves at least 2 events in the past.
