✅ Say : You ought to have come yesterday .

➖➿➖➿➖➿➖➿
💡Don’t use must and ought to as past tenses . To express a past duty (which wasn’t done) use the perfect infinitive without to after ought to or should or expressions such as had to, was obliged .
📮Note: In indirect speech use must and ought to and past tenses ; He said he must do it .
🗂2. using the present perfect instead of the simple past tense .
❌Don’t say : I have seen a good film yesterday .
✅ Say : I saw a good film yesterday .
➖➿➖➿➖➿➖➿
💡use the simple past tense (and not the present perfect ) for an action completed in the past at a stated time .
📮Note: When a sentence has a word or a phrase denoting past time, like yesterday, last night, last week, last year, then, ago, etc , always use a simple past tense .
