Q

María and Josefina were talking and María said, “you can use applesauce in place of oil to make a cake”. Josefina replied, “how interesting, I had never heard that before.”

A

María y Josefina estaban hablando y María dijo, “puede usar puré de manzana en vez de aceite para hacer un pastel”. Josefina contestó: “qué interesante, nunca lo había oído antes”. (había oído = pluscuamperfecto de indicativo)
(HAD never heard = past progressive, pluscuamperfecto de indicativo)
per Daniela this is the best way to say this - if you say no he visto algo como esto it is like I haven´t seen it yet and it is not common to use haber this way
