"yesterday's meeting" vs "yesterdays meeting"

The correct phrase here is "yesterday's meeting"; you are using the possessive of the word "yesterday" to indicate that the meeting belonged to yesterday. The plural of "yesterday" doesn't make any sense, since there is only one yesterday.

yesterday's meeting

This is correct

Use this phrase to reference a meeting that took place yesterday.

Some examples from our editors:

  • I wanted to talk about yesterday's meeting.
  • Yesterday's meeting did not go particularly well.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • the meeting we had yesterday
  • the meeting we attended yesterday
  • the meeting that took place yesterday

yesterdays meeting

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

In order to use the possessive of the word "yesterday," you need to put an apostrophe between "yesterday" and "s." In that way, you can say that the meeting "belongs to," or took place, yesterday.
