i took leave yesterday vs I have taken leave yesterday

The correct phrase is "I took leave yesterday." The use of the past simple tense "took" is appropriate when referring to an action that occurred in the past. The phrase "I have taken leave yesterday" is incorrect because the present perfect tense "have taken" should not be used with a specific time reference like "yesterday."
