Question 18 is unfair. 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' either. So I would suggest that questions 18-20 might be considered for some revision, as well as the chart. Finally, if I spoke- not wrote- from a future perspective, I'd probably say, 'He said he would come the next day, but he didn't.' Or maybe of someone offering assistance: \"I'll have your papers ready tomorrow.\" OK- that was on Monday when she said that and now it's Thursday but still no papers! I'd probably say, \"She said she'd have my papers ready on Tuesday but It's already Friday.\" In every case of 'future reporting the past' there must be a context! It's very odd to just say, 'He said he was working the following day.' I would think, 'well, which 'following day' is the speaker talking about and why is it important?' I would need more information. That's why for 18 I chose 'tomorrow' over 'the following day.' I won't be happy if it's wrong.
