I'm looking to translate sentences like "before you did this". I know that "before" is "-den önce", but I'm lost when dealing with a sentence.
Can anyone help?

These sentences are adverbial clauses. Check Elisa's Lessons, here :

You have (had) your breakfast before going to school:
Okula gitmeden önce kahvaltı yapıyorsun (yaptın).
when the 2 verbs have different subjects, i'm not sure. I suppose that you use -dik + possessive:
you ate your breakfast before I went to school.
Okula geldiğimden önce kahvaltı yaptın.
(geldiğim = geldik + im)
Doğru mu ? Yanlış mı ?

You might wonder about the suffix "-me" before the suffix -"den."
It is not for a negative meaning , it makes the verb a noun as "-ing" after "before".
Eve gitMEden önce,annesini aradı.
He called his mother before going home.

You make the person clear by using the ben/sen etc personal pronouns:
Ben okula gelmeden önce kahvaltı yaptın
or
Ben okula gelmeden önce sen kahvaltı yaptın
