Answer:

I asked if I might help you.

Explanation:

Direct Speech: "May I help you" I said.

Indirect Speech: I asked if I might help you.

Some reasons of changing of direct speech into indirect speech are as follows as:

The auxiliary verb "may" is changed to "might" which is an auxiliary verb for past tense.

The word "said" is changed into the word "asked" because in indirect speech, the word "asked" is used as a reported verb, except the word "said" is used as a reported verb in the universal truths.

The word "if" or "whether" is used in reported speech.

This direct speech is changed into past tense during changing in indirect speech from the direct speech.

Indirect speech changes the tense but the meaning of the tense remains same.
