  1. Indirect Speech: Addressing me as child, she prayed that God might help me.

    Explanation: While reporting imperative sentences we use reporting verbs like ask, request, beg, order, advise, wish, pray, etc to match the mood of the sentence.

    If the reporting verb is in the past tense, then the modals like can changes to could, may changes to might, will/shall change to would, have to changes to had to etc.
