✔ 最佳答案
Peter said, "I saw Sam yesterday."Direct speech: I saw Sam yesterday. (correct)
* I had seen Sam the day before. (incorrect)
Indirect speech
Peter said that he had seen Sam the day before."
"saw" ====> "had seen"
"yesterday" ====> "the day before"

正確的英語文法: yesterday 轉為indirect speech是the other day.
What a ridiculous comment!

the day before的意思是指：某日的前一天
假設某日的前一天是 7th July，那麼說成 I had seen Sam on 7th July. 文法有否出錯？

the day before是絕對正確，並絕對不是港式英語
中英出版的英文文法精解，就有以下例子
He told me that the man I had seen the day before was not his father
the day before的意思是指：某日的前一天
東吳大學的網站，也有一例：
Mary told them she had finished writing her book the day before
注：我在這裏只是在學術交流
請yahoo管理員，千萬不要無理刪除意見，並隨意叩分
若不然，我或會向yahoo知識投訴這惡行

大家都似乎集非成是用港式英語以為the day before=yesterday的indirect speech.
正確的英語文法
yesterday 轉為indirect speech是the other day.
所以
問題句子如果當作indirect speech的句子或作者堅持要用past perfect tense以表示他見sam的規範(是在之前已經完成了)[例如去面試/商業會面/正規被安排的接見等]都無可口非的：
I had seen Sam the other day.
這樣英文人才會知你在說甚麼的。

I had seen Sam the day before.
此句有丙兩種情況：
（一）the day before.即之前一天. 由於 I had seen Sam 是過去完成式,而不是過去式,所以不能用yesterday.
例如 : I saw Mary yesterday and I had seen Sam the day before. 昨天見到Mary, 而前天見到 Sam.
（二）是簡接句。
例如：Last week I told him that I had seen Sam the day before. 上星期我對他說，我之前一天見過Sam.
明白嗎？

如果用have 是不會有時間表明，有時間表明用過去式才對，so the answer is I saw sam yesterday/the day before
Have 係直到現在都有影響,所以不會有時間表明.
1 I have seen sam/him.
2 I saw sam yesterday/the day before
Have 係直到現在都有影響,所以不會有時間表明.
1 I have seen sam/him.
2 I saw sam yesterday/the day before
參考: 自己學grammar :)
