Transform into indirect speech: He said to me, ‘May you be happy.’

A. He said to me that I may be happy.
B. He wished me that I might be happy.
C. He wished me that you might be happy.
D. He said to me that I might being happy.
Correct Answer: B. He wished me that I might be happy.

This question tests the transformation of direct speech into indirect speech, specifically for optative sentences (expressing a wish or prayer).

  • Correct Option B: "He wished me that I might be happy." This is accurate because when transforming an optative sentence, 'said to' changes to 'wished' or 'prayed'. The conjunction 'that' is used. 'May' changes to 'might', and the pronoun 'you' (referring to 'me') changes to 'I'.
  • Option A: "He said to me that I may be happy." Incorrect because 'said to' should change to 'wished' and 'may' should change to 'might' in indirect speech.
  • Option C: "He wished me that you might be happy." Incorrect because the pronoun 'you' should change to 'I' to reflect the person being wished upon (me).
  • Option D: "He said to me that I might being happy." Incorrect due to 'said to' instead of 'wished' and the grammatical error 'might being happy' instead of 'might be happy'.
