Time expression in passive voice (present perfect)
Hallo
Would someone be so kind and dispel my doubt as to how to apply the time expressions the right way? I know that the correct example can be:
They have delivered the parcel today.
but wrongly built sentence is:
They have delivered the parcel yesterday.
My concern though is how to build a corresponding sentence in the passive voice variant. Is it correct:
(1) The parcel has been delivered today.
or
(2) The parcel has been delivered yesterday.
I suppose that only the example (1) is the acceptable one. Am I right?
