She replied to me that she will not attend the meeting after an hour.

We speak the same language - Chinese.

Not a teacher.

"After an hour" does not work there.

Why not?

Why not?

The meeting is evidently happening in an hour. "After an hour" suggests that she will attend the meeting before an hour passes.

'She told me that she would not attend the meeting scheduled to begin in an hour".

There are many other possibilities.

So does it mean the phrase that follows should be in the past tense ? For example, it is incorrect to say:

"She told me that she will not attend the meeting scheduled to begin in an hour" ?

Thanks for your help!

It is not incorrect - if we are one hour away from the meeting.
