I saw an aeroplane in the sky yesterday, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Explanation:
❌ I have seen yesterday → We don’t use present perfect with a specific past time like yesterday. Use simple past → I saw.
❌ on sky → Correct preposition is in the sky.
❌ it’s gone → Use past tense for a finished action → it disappeared.
✔ in the blink of an eye is correct (means very quickly).
