Graham: “I have a new car.”
Reported speech: “Graham said that he had a new car.”
Jessica: “I’m sick”
Reported speech: “Jessica said that she was sick”
Quand on raconte plus tard ce que quelqu’un a dit, il faut changer le temps utilisé au passé. Sachez que ‘would’ est le passé de ‘will’ tout comme ‘could’ est le passé de ‘can’ (ainsi que le conditionnel de ‘can’)

No, ‘that night’ is not correct in this context. We say ‘tonight’ or ‘this evening’ for ‘ce soir’ or the evening of the present day, in contrast to ‘last night’ or ‘yesterday evening’ for the previous day.
i dont agree with your sentence number i think that your must say that night
i very much like it but i don’t get my problem solve as i speak it but i want to be able to pronounce it well too
