In the reported sentences, Katy used the past tense to report the questions and imperatives. She also changed the pronouns and adverbs to fit the new context. For example, «you» became «I» in the reported sentence, and «tonight» was added to the end of the sentence to clarify the time frame. Additionally, in the imperative sentence, Katy used the phrase «asked me not to» to report the request.
