She said to me,"can you help me?" in indirect speech​

Step-by-step explanation:

In indirect speech, the sentence "She said to me, 'Can you help me?'" would be reported as follows:

She asked me if I could help her.

In this indirect statement, the verb "said" changes to "asked" to reflect the use of a question in the original sentence. The pronoun "me" remains the same. The question itself changes to a reported question, with the word "if" used to introduce the indirect question. Finally, the reported question uses the modal verb "could" instead of "can" to reflect the change from direct to indirect speech.
