I never eaten this before vs I never eat him before

Both phrases have errors in them. The correct form should be 'I have never eaten this before' to indicate a past action that has never occurred before. The second phrase should be 'I have never eaten him before' if referring to a person. 'Eat' is the correct verb to use in this context.
