Yesterday I ran vs I ran yesterday

Both phrases are correct and commonly used in English. The difference lies in the emphasis placed on the time element. 'Yesterday I ran' emphasizes that the action took place specifically on the previous day, while 'I ran yesterday' still conveys the same information but may place slightly more emphasis on the running itself.
