i go there yesterday vs i was there yesterday

The correct phrase to use here is 'I was there yesterday.' 'I go there yesterday' is incorrect because 'go' is the present tense, while 'yesterday' indicates a past time. 'I was there yesterday' is the correct past tense form of the verb 'to be' for this context.

i go there yesterday

'I go there yesterday' is incorrect. 'Go' is the present tense, while 'yesterday' indicates a past time.

To talk about an action that happened in the past, you should use the past tense form of the verb. In this case, 'go' should be changed to 'went.'

i was there yesterday

'I was there yesterday' is the correct phrase to use in this context. It correctly indicates that the speaker was at a place in the past.

Use 'was' or 'were' to indicate that you were at a place in the past. This is the past tense form of the verb 'to be.'
