structure of a conditional sentence

Hey,

I'm new here, and I would like to ask you the following question-

Is the below sentence correct-

"What I did yesterday, is not necessarily what I have been doing today."

Can you explain to me the structure, I was looking through the web checking the form of a conditional with past and present at the same sentence, and couldn't find this form.

Can you help me please?

Thanks...

I don't think that's a conditional sentence. ". The only problem I see with your sentence is that there should be no comma.

That's because it's not a conditional.
I would have written this:
What I did yesterday is not necessarily what I'm doing today.
That makes a sentence with past and present. (Your version had past and present perfect, which is not the same as present.)

Yes, I meant present perfect which refers to the present.
I meant to say that I wouldn't have done today, the same as I did yesterday.
