Choose the correct inquisitive interrogative for the given imperative. “Please help me”.
Can you help me?
An imperative request such as ‘Please help me’ can be turned into an interrogative (question) form that asks for the same help politely. Such a question begins with a modal auxiliary followed by the subject: ‘Can/Could/Will you …?’.
‘Can you help me?’ has the correct order — auxiliary ‘can’ + subject ‘you’ + base verb ‘help’ + object ‘me’ — and keeps the meaning of a request for help.
‘You help me?’ has no auxiliary and keeps statement word order. ‘Will help me?’ drops the subject ‘you’. ‘Did you help me?’ asks about a past action instead of requesting help now, so it changes the meaning.
Only one option is a grammatical question that carries the same request.
Can you help me? option is correct.
