I did my homework vs I did my homework yesterday

Both sentences are correct, but they serve different purposes. "I did my homework" is a general statement indicating completion of homework without specifying when it was done, while "I did my homework yesterday" provides a specific time frame, indicating that the homework was completed on the previous day.
