Which one is correct? Will it be alright to say that, "I NEED it yesterday.." or "I NEEDED it yesterday.."???
I somehow confused about these sentences.
Thanx!!!

Re: Which one is correct? "I need" = present
"yesterday" = past
So I needed it yesterday.

Re: Which one is correct? "I needed it yesterday" is correct. "I need it yesterday" is an idiomatic usage; it means, "I need this as soon as possible."
