Indirect Speech: The boy politely asked the teacher if he might come in.
Explanation: 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.
And if the sentence is interrogative, we use the reporting verbs – asked, enquired, etc.
