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]
