This is a subject which needs a quite brief explanation for understanding purpose
But at a very basic level we should keep in mind the following things :-
1) Identify the narration and the reported verb.
2) Change of tense (according to rules), pronouns and date or time specific words.
3) Never place that in a reported question while changing.
4) Use if/whether and place the subject in first place in case of yes/no type questions.
5) In imperative sentences go according to the situations.
