What is the comparative degree of word yesterday?

The word "yesterday" is an adverb of time, and adverbs don't have comparative degrees.

Comparative forms are used to compare two things, like "bigger" or "faster." Since "yesterday" is a specific point in time, it can't be compared to another time in the same way.

To express a comparison related to time, you would use different words or phrases:

* Earlier: "I arrived earlier than yesterday."

* More recent: "This news is more recent than yesterday's."

* The day before: "I went shopping the day before yesterday."
