Last evening= yesterday evening

I would always say yesterday evening or yesterday morning, but I would also say last night.

Hi. I was born and raised in the USA. I read this in an obituary from which I'm trying to determine the date of death:

"After a long extended illness, during which time he has been gradually sinking, J. A. Brown passed away last evening at 8:15."

This use of "last evening"sounds completely correct to me. However, it leaves me wondering if Mr. Brown died last n

Hi there! I'm 10 years late, but yesterday evening is pretty common. So is last night. We also can say last morning. Yesterday morning I don't hear very often, but to my knowledge, it is not incorrect.

Hope that helps!

Dave Phillips and CalifJim answered correctly. Ignore everybody else. Except me, of course. By the way, "Indian English" is a figment of someone's imagination. Very few Indians speak English as a first language, and it is more or less a pidgin there, fossilized and misapprehended. But International English will soon overtake us all, so it's not an important point.
