Sentence info.

Breakdown of the sentence:
• 어제 (eoje) – Means “yesterday.”
• 는 (neun) – A topic marker that attaches to a noun; here it emphasizes that “yesterday” is what we’re talking about.
• 금요일 (geumyoil) – Means “Friday.”
•이었다 (ieotda) – The past tense of the copula이다 (“to be”), indicating that the state in the past was “Friday.”

How it’s formed:
The sentence structure follows the Korean subject/topic – predicate format. “어제” is marked as the topic with 는, followed by the noun “금요일,” and concluded by the past form of the verb “to be,” “이었다.” This construction tells us that the topic (yesterday) held the property of being Friday.

Tips to remember:
• Note that time expressions like 어제 often take a topic marker to emphasize “what about yesterday.”
• Remember that the copula in Korean changes its form based on tense. Use이다 in the present and 였/였다 in the past.
• Practice by substituting 어제 with 다른 날짜 (another day) and adjusting the copula accordingly.

Alternate ways to say “Yesterday was Friday”:
• 어제 금요일이었어. (eoje geumyoil-ieosseo) – Informal casual speech.
• 어제 금요일이었어요. (eoje geumyoil-ieosseoyo) – Polite form.
• 어제는 금요일이었어요. (eoje-neun geumyoil-ieosseoyo) – Emphasizes “yesterday” with the topic marker while staying polite.

These alternatives reflect the same meaning, with slight variations in formality and emphasis through topic marking.
