In 2 question we have question type sentence which was starting from wh so wh will remain same and the verb will change to its past form and it will come after the subject.

In 6., and 7 question we have imperative type sentences in which no tense change takes place we just replace the reporting verb said with words like suggested,ordered,commanded,pleased,urged,encouraged,advised,wished etc..
