heed, he'd

Heed or heed means to pay attention to; to notice--
Heed my advice, young man, and you'll go far.
He fell because he didn't heed the caution sign.

He'd or he'd ( rhymes with heed ) is a contraction ( short, informal form ) of "he would" or, less commonly, "he had"--
He said he'd be here by 6 o'clock.
He slammed the door, and then realized that he'd forgotten his keys.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"He'd already passed the gate, and had failed to heed the warning."
