When To Use
Yesterweek means last week—the week before the current one.It indicates the same thing as yesterday, but for a week instead of a day. Unlike yesterday, though, yesterweek is rarely used. We usually just use the term last week. The word week most generally refers to any period of seven consecutive days, but in yesterweek it refers to the seven-day period that begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. This means that it typically refers to the time in the previous calendar week, not just any time in the previous seven days. Still, it’s rarely used at all.Example: This all happened yesterweek, but it seems like it was a month ago.
