7. Fauzia asked Ummy to give her (Fauzia) her money back.

8. The stranger asked the shopkeeper if he (the shopkeeper) could show him the way to the hospital.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Here 'requested' is used as 'please' is mentioned in the direct speech.

2. As the direct speech is in present continuous form while changing it to indirect it is given past continuous form.

3. For 'tomorrow' we should use 'the next day' in indirect speech.

4. Present tense is changed into past tense in indirect speech.

Similarly, all other questions are changed into indirect speech.
