Teacher Re: last/yesterday evening My personal view is that 'yesterday evening' is far more commonly heard/used than 'last evening' in most dialects of BrE.
'Yesterday night', however, is, in my opinion, unacceptable. We can say only 'last night'.

Teacher Re: last/yesterday evening You are probably right about "yesterday evening" being much more common, but I use "last evening" sometimes. You are certainly right about "yesterday night". Originally Posted by fivejedjon

Teacher Re: last/yesterday evening Yesterday evening is not common in the US - though my Mexican students have brought up this term in the past. In the US I would hear "last night" or "last evening".
