He said...
I am stuck. Today is Friday. The person who "said" in these sentences said it on Wednesday. We are talking about this upcoming weekend.
"He said he will do it this weekend." (I think it's fine)
"He said he is going to do it this weekend." (I think it's fine)
"He said he was going to do it this weekend." (I think it's fine as well)
"He said he would do it this weekend". (Not sure. It looks OK to me).
Help is appreciated.

CalifJimThey are all good.CJNice, thank you!!
One more (last one!):
He said he is going to the movies this Saturday.
He said he will go to the movies this Saturday.
He said he will be going to the movies this Saturday.
Are all good as well? (I don't see a significant difference between the three.)

AnonymousAre all good as well?Yes, but if you want to look like you're speaking authentic English, you'll change those "he will"s to "he'll".
