Pronoun/reported speech
Message from ronja posted on 31-10-2011 at 16:49:44 (D | E | F)
Hello

I need your help please:

“If the meeting is cancelled, I can leave earlier,” said the colleague.
I don't know if the colleague is a man or woman.
How can I change the following direct speech into a reported speech?
The colleague said if the meeting was cancelled HE? or THE COLLEAGUE? could leave earlier.
He or the colleague, which is correct?

Thank you for your answers.

Hi,

I would put 'he/she'.
Best Wishes
