YuYi knew that 'd stands for "did,had,would"

If you have a pronoun with 'd followed by the plain form of the verb (I'd see; you'd know; we'd find, they'd have), 'd = would.

If you have a pronoun with 'd followed by the past participle of the verb (I'd seen; you'd known; we'd found; they'd had), 'd = had.
