Can I say "He came last evening."?

Hello, everyone

I have a doubt here. Can I say

"He came yesterday night."

"We heard it this night."

"He saw it yesterday night."

I will see him next moring/next evening/next night.

I know these sentences might sound weird, but I would like to know if all these sentences are correct or not. I really need your help. Thank you very much!Emotion: smile[8]

Hi,

Can I say "He came last evening?"

It doesn't sound very idiomatic to me. Say 'Last night'. I will normally understand that you don't mean he came at 3 am.

My apologies and thanks for the clarification. I must have been very sleepy at about 3 o'clock last night and somehow I didn't spot 'yesterday evening'.
