Translation practice.

For instance, our Chinese grammar says, you can put a “了" after a finished verb. following the rules and maybe I will make some mistakes. For example,“昨天是了星期二”. According to the grammar rules, I thought this: “是" is a verb and yesterday is already finished. Does my logic have any problems?

I think your logic is correct, but the rule has exceptions. Maybe “了" only applies to action verbs. “是" is equivalent to the basic "to be" verb. It's past tense is "was" or "were". In English, you would have written "yesterday was Tuesday.", but in Chinese, the “了" is not necessary because Tuesday is not performing an action. It was "yesterday" at a particular moment in time. By tomorrow, Wednesday would be yesterday. Does that make sense?
