Using the Correct Tense
Which of the following is correct?
A. I didn't know there was an event happening on Thursday.
B. I didn't know there will be an event happening on Thursday.
Thursday is a day in the future. I think it's A because of the need for parallelism ("did" and "was") but I'm not entirely certain since the pertinent Thursday hasn't passed by yet.
A. I didn't know there was an event happening on Thursday.
