Explanation
(1) Present perfect 'have made' changes to past perfect 'had made'. No pronoun changes needed as the statement is general. (2) Present tense 'enjoy' changes to past tense 'enjoyed'. Pronoun 'I' changes to 'she'. (3) Past tense 'won' changes to past perfect 'had won'. 'Our' changes to 'their'. 'Last year' changes to 'the previous year'. (4) Requests use 'requested... to' structure. 'You' changes to 'the students' (or 'them'). Present 'leave' changes to past 'left'. (5) Advice uses 'advised... to' structure. The imperative 'Finish' becomes 'to finish'. Time expression 'before dinner' remains unchanged as it's not a specific time word. (6) Instructions use 'instructed... to' structure. The imperative 'Take' becomes 'to take'.
