We don''t know when the speech is being reported. Moreover, in American speech anyway, it is always OK to use 'tomorrow' even if it happened long in the past. I don't think I would ever say, 'She asked him if he was working the following day,' as there would always be a context in which she was asking him the day before, and that is frozen in time. Do you follow me? In American English I'm also happy with, 'if he were' instead of 'was,' and I don't mind 'be going to'...  [Read more]

Things I wish I'd known before beginning my TESOL course Looking back over the past few months I can say it’s been a learning curve and not just in teaching English. In many ways this course has turned my life upside down. I would have saved a lot time if I had been more computer literate before starting and would advise others to make friends with their computer beforehand. Another practical point was how I would have to reorganize my day many times to find the best study time, my best time did not always suit everyone else. As a homeschooling mum I never dreamed how helpful the course would be in my general teaching skills with the children. During the course I became more and more interested in English grammar, with a growing realization of how bad mine was and a desire to study...  [Read more]
