Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.
He said to his sister, “Please help me with my homework.”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4. i.e. He requested his sister to help him with his homework.
- In indirect speech, we need to remove commas and inverted commas.
- The first-person pronouns are changed to third-person pronouns, so, 'me' is changed to 'him', and 'my' is changed to 'his'.
- As please indicated the sentence is a request, so, 'please' should be replaced by 'requested' followed by the infinitive "to+V1".
- So, the final sentence is: He requested his sister to help him with his homework.
