Yesterday

Yesterday refers to the day immediately preceding the current day. It denotes a time in the past, a completed period of 24 hours before the present moment. Often, 'yesterday' carries a connotation of something finished, resolved, or unchangeable. It's a temporal marker used to discuss events, actions, or experiences that occurred during that specific past day. Functionally, it serves as a simple, direct way to indicate a time reference without needing specific dates or more complex temporal descriptions, implying something that is now in the past and cannot be altered.
