i go back yesterday vs i went back yesterday

The correct phrase is 'I went back yesterday.' 'Went' is the past tense of 'go,' so it should be used when referring to an action that happened in the past. 'I go back yesterday' is incorrect because 'go' is present tense and does not match the time frame of 'yesterday.'
