「sit」是不规则动词，过去式是「sat」，不能直接在原形后加-ed 构成「sitted」。改为「sat」才是正确的一般过去时形式。
Yesterday she sit next to me.Yesterday she sat next to me.
时间状语「yesterday」表明句子需要用一般过去时，而「sit」是原形。应使用「sit」的过去式「sat」来表示过去的动作。
They sat in this café since morning.They have sat in this café since morning.
「since morning」表示从过去延续到现在的状态，应当使用现在完成时「have sat」，而不能用一般过去时「sat」。
