(0) He told me: "You shouldn't worry if I arrive a little late". (I borrowed the example)
How to report the if-clause?
Does it matter whether the arrival in question is still ahead (1) or well in the past (2)?
Like:
(1) He said (that) I should not worry if he arrives a little late. (?)
(2) He said (that) I should not worry if he would arrive a little late. (???)
Thank you for your comment.
