        Wondering that too. English is not my first language.

          That's perfectly fine, having yesterday at the end sounds a lot more natural though

              Also 'I am very tired' should fly as well?

                Right now in beta, the translation of 很＋adjective is not being implemented consistently. In some cases, it is requiring that "very" be included in the translation, and in others, such as this case, including "very" is being marked incorrect. I assume this will be rectified before leaving beta stage. :)

                  Yes because it makes the verb 打 past tense

                  Just curious: Is a comma not needed before 因为 in written Chinese?

                    No comma. Chinese has fewer commas than English.

                      Is this good? 因为我昨天打了排球， 所以我现在很累。

                        That's fine, although I don't think I've ever seen it written with a comma.
