Answer:
Raju said that he was planning to leave abroad.
Answer:
Direct speech : Raju said , " I am going to Kodaikanal for a holiday "
Indirect speech : Raju said that he was going to Kodaikanal for a holiday
Explanation:
The given sentence is a statement.
According to the rules of narration and reporting, if the reporting verb is in the past tense, the tense of the reported verb is changed into its corresponding past form. The reporting verb in the given sentence, 'said', is in the past form. Therefore, the reported verb, 'cannot' will change into 'could not'. The first person pronoun 'I' will change to third person 'he'.
Thus, in indirect speech the sentence must be,
He said that he could not help me at present because he was himself in difficulty.
