Do I need to change tense, if the main verb is in simple past,as is the case with the sentences below?
I forgot that you're not working tomorrow or is it I forgot that you were not working tomorrow?
Thanks in advance for answering my question.

damironi71 I forgot that you were not working tomorrow Fine. This is quite normal even though what you forgot relates to the future. damironi71 I forgot that you're not working tomorrow Fine.
