Yesterday night

[Offroad]

Dear teachers

Are these sentences OK?

I went by her house yesterday night.
It was yesterday night when she run over a homeless guy in the streets.
No one knows what happened in the wood yesterday night.
She was found at hospital yesterday night.

I know 'last' instead of 'yesterday' sounds OK but I've seen it a few times on magazines etc.

Thank you

We tend to say 'yesterday evening' and 'last night', but 'yesterday night' is possible, as is 'last evening' in some dialects.

It was yesterday night when she ran over a homeless guy in the streets.

No one knows what happened in the woods yesterday night. (AmE)

Oh I missed that. Thanks

I missed the 'run',

'Wood', singular, is possible in BrE.

You would seldom hear the term "yesterday night" used in AmE except perhaps on occasion among very young children.

I only say "last night", and never use "yesterday night". But hey, I'm a hic from the back woods of Canada.
