Hi charltonian-ga -

Here is the translation of "Well, yesterday it was working"

                Jam, heri fauste gerebat

"Jam" means "well," and you can remove it without affecting the Latin that follows.

I consulted a Latin scholar for this translation.

Here are some websites that may interest you:

Latin proverbs and locutions

Google search strategy (for the above websites)

Search terms: Latin proverbs site:.edu

All the best,

Alanna-ga
