Объяснение:

При преобразовании прямой речи в косвенную нужно применять правило согласования времен ("шаг назад") и использовать прямой порядок слов (не вопросительный).

Кроме того, нужно заменять некоторые обстоятельства (например, this week - that week, today - that day и т. д.)

Для передачи повелительного наклонения (приказов, просьб, инструкций) в косвенной речи используется инфинитив с частицей to.
