Question

The Bishop said,“may God pardon the sinner (Optative sentences)
please help me​

Answer 1

Answer:

Indirect Speech: He prayed that God might pardon that sinner.

Explanation: While reporting imperative sentences we use reporting verbs like ask, request, beg, order, advise, wish 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.
