What does 어제 mean?

It means yesterday.

Why is there no subject like “I” in this sentence?

In Korean, subjects (and objects) are often omitted when they’re clear from context. Here the speaker and action are understood.

What is the role of -에 after 학교?

The particle -에 marks the destination with movement verbs like 가다. So 학교에 literally means “to school.”

How is the past tense formed for 가다 to get 갔어요?

1. Drop -다 from 가다, leaving the stem 가-
2. Add the past tense marker -았- (because the stem vowel is ㅏ)
3. Attach the polite ending -어요
   Putting it all together: 가
   • 았
     • 어요 → 갔어요.
