Explicação:
Resumidamente, troquei os tempos verbais de acordo com a regra e também alguns termos. Você encontra tabelas com essas regras na Internet, e eu recomendo um canal chamado Canguro English para que você entenda mais sobre esse e outros assuntos.
Sobre a letra d e a letra e, eu utilizei o verbo told, pois seria como uma "ordem" dada pelo pai e pela mãe (algo que você deve e que você não deve fazer), no meu ver, é um caso diferente das outras. Mas peço desculpas se interpretei de maneira errada.
Vou colocar algumas mudanças aqui:
yesterday para the day before.
today para that day.
last week para the week before/the previous week.
two days ago para two days before.
now para then.
this afternoon para that afternoon.
tomorrow para the following day/the next day.
next month para the following month.
two weeks ago para two weeks before.
tonight para that night.
come para go.
here para there.
this para that.
É isso, a resposta ficaria muito grande se eu colocasse as trocas verbais aqui. Espero ter ajudado :)
