Click to expand... Hi Carhaeni Your sentence should sound : I sang a song yesterday. I sang it very well, everybody was happy to hear the song I sang. The adverb "yesterday" requires past tense in this case. Hope it helps Best wishes Teia

Mariner Member Joined Oct 4, 2006 Oct 5, 2006 #11 Actually, you can use "I sung a song yesterday". According to Leech & Svartvik, the past form allows both "sang" and "sung". However, it is rarely used. (British national corpus returned 96 hits for "he sang" and 2 for "he sung")
