ioni, I apprecate your attempt to help, but there are many errors in your suggestion.

1. Don't leave a space BEFORE the punctuation mark. Leave it AFTER.
2. The comma was not the right punctuation mark. The first is not a dependent clause; it's a fragment.
3. You used the past perfect, which wasn't necessary.
4. You changed "work" to "homework" but there is no reason to assume it was homework.
5. You capitlized "homework," which is a common noun.
6. You used a preposition before "yesterday" and none should be there.

Keeping as close to your attemp as I can:
Just an update for you -- [you can use a dash or a colon] I did the work yesterday.

Should it not be I did the work yesterday or I have done the work already?
Present perfect and yesterday don't usually go together.

Should it not be I did the work yesterday or I have done the work already?
Present perfect and yesterday don't usually go together.

You will notice that none of the natives/teachers said that the present perfect and yesterday went together. The only person who attempted to suggest that was a non-native, non-teacher.

Just a quick update, I did the work yesterday.
Just to let you know, I did the work yesterday.
Just to update you, I did the work yesterday.

Just a quick update, I have already done the work.
etc etc

It will make the posts easier to read if you identify in some way the words or phrases you are talking about:

Should it not be I did the work yesterday or I have done the work already?
Present perfect and yesterday don't usually go together.

Should it not be "I did the work yesterday" or "I have done the work already"?
Present perfect and "yesterday" don't usually go together.

ioni,


2. The comma was not the right punctuation mark. The first is not a dependent clause; it's a fragment.


Would you please explain fragment and dependent clause ?

thanks in advance

"Fragment" simply means it's not a full, proper sentence or clause.
"Dependent clause" has its usual meaning in grammar.
