is 'yesterday' an adjective here?

Dear Users,

I would like to ask if in the following sentence we need to use a comma before yesterday. Also, should there be a comma before and? I think that without a comma yesterday takes the form of an adjective. Of course I could put it at the end of the sentence, but I'd like to keep it at the beginning instead.

Yesterday Dominic, Michael, and myself had a meeting with Jack.


Take care,



Thanks

CalifJim"yesterday" is always an adverb
Hi Jim

RHUD disagrees with you:

–adj.
5. belonging or pertaining to the day before or to a time in the immediate past: yesterday morning.

PS I couldn't care less what it is called in the definition above

I get that a lot.

Actually, on second thought, it's a noun. The day before today is yesterday.

Cool Breeze24 degrees Celcius. (Isn't that 100 Fahrenheit?)
HAH! Nowhere near.
There's an easy way to remember the range from 20 to 30 Celsius. It's about 68 to 86 Fahrenheit.
(86 is just the reverse of the digits of 68. Easy, right?)

I was just kidding, Jim. 100F is about 37C.
