Select the option that expresses the given sentence in Direct to Indirect Speech.
She said to him, "Please help me."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: She requested him to help her.
Explanation:
• In imperative sentences containing polite requests (indicated by words like "Please"), the reporting verb 'said to' changes to 'requested'.
• The word 'please' is dropped in indirect speech.
• The verb in the reported speech is converted into an infinitive form ('to + verb'), so "help" becomes "to help".
• The first-person pronoun 'me' refers to the subject ('She') and changes to 'her'.
