Yesterday we got lost and walked thousands of miles before we found the bus stop is an example of hyperbole. Hyperbole is when you make an exaggerated statement that you don't intend your audience to take literally.

No, the word 'before' is an adverb, a preposition, or a conjunction.An antecedent is the noun or nouns, pronoun, or noun phrase that a pronoun replaces.Example: When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train.The noun 'George' is the antecedent of the pronoun 'he'.Example sentence for the adverb 'before':Haven't we met before?modifies the verb 'have met'.Example sentence for the preposition 'before':I'll put it in my locker before class.introduces the prepositional phrase 'before class'.Example sentence for the conjunction 'before':You should spell-check your work before you send it to the printer.joins the two parts of the compound sentence.

It depends. Here are examples: In this sentence, a comma is only necessary after the "for example": For example, yesterday she fell down and didn't even cry. In this sentence, a comma is necessary before and after "for example": You, for example, would also be depressed if you were failing trigonometry.
I worked yesterday. I have worked there before.
Yes, yesterday is a temporal adverb, modifying the verb "to go" by placing it in a particular time setting. "The day before yesterday" would be an adverbial phrase.
I assume your question is if this sentence is correct. It's not. :( Correct: He swam across the lake yesterday. Example of "had swum": "Before the day of the race, I had swum two miles every day." "Had swum" (or "had done anything") shows the action happened before a past action or event.
Perhaps when you're asking about something that occurred the day before today. For example, you might ask, "What did you do yesterday?"
In such questions we need to search for the starting point or the clue. The clue in the question is the word "Yesterday" which is at the last. So this is our starting point. Now lets divide the sentence into 4 parts... The day after/ the day before/ the day after yesterday So coming from back....the day after yesterday= today then continuing it....the day before( today)....is yesterday... The day after (yesterday)...is today... Or After dividing we find day after , day before as cancellation pair...and we are left with the day after yesterday......answer is Today.
two years ago i put out the fire by stepping on it.
The words 'Yesterday Nick visited and old village' is NOT a grammatically correct sentence for two reasons. First, the word 'and' is a connecting word to make a compound subject, compound verb, or compound sentence. Instead of 'and' in your sentence, you need one of three words: a, an, or the. Those three words are called articles of speech and come before nouns. Second, you need a comma after Yesterday. Note: you use 'an' before words beginning with a vowel.So the sentence should read:Yesterday, Nick visited an old village. (or the old village)Yesterday is an adverb.Nick is the nounan old village is the object phrasean is an articleold is an adjective modifying villagevillage is the object.You can also write the sentence: Nick visited an old village yesterday.
