How can I marge "what did she say" and "What was she going to bring"?
Hi, there.
If you could please help me to construct a sentence.
For example,
"She said she was going to bring some snacks."
if I want to change this sentence to a question,
"What did she say?"
"What was she going to bring?"
then, how can I merge these 2 questions?
Is it like :
"What did she say to bring?"
I feel this is a bit strange. If I say "What did she promise you to bring?", it's still OK.
But, how can I make a question like this?
Thanks in advance!

She said she was going to bring some snacks
The question you ask depends on what information you want.
What did she say? She said she was going to bring some snacks
What was she going to bring? Some snacks
To merge the two, I would just say:
"What did she say she was going to bring?"
If she promised to bring something, you could ask:
"What did she promise to bring?"
or if you want to get really long-winded:
"What did she say she would promise to bring?"
But I prefer the former.

What did she say she was going to bring?
We would not say "What did she promise you to bring?" but we can say: "What did she promise to bring you?"
