The ” told “, if used in that sentence, sounds like the boy issued a charge. How can a boy don’t command his teachers? Why?
The ” asked ” is most appropriate as far as interaction between boys and their teachers goes.
The ” said to ” is similar to ” told “.
Two are grammatically acceptable. The
first consists of a few parts that a writer must use.

The verb pick is transitive. The verb “Pick” has multiple objects. “Peel” is the verb of A.C. P.S. It is used similarly to such verbs as ” get ” or ” give ” or ” gather ” or any other synonyms for them.
Curiously enough, what are the objects in the order of one’s verb is set in a formula that is not rigid. However, often with other verbs we see the indirect object used with a preposition:
“Give yourself a bonus” (no preposition) vs “Give a bonus to yourself” (the indirect object ‘yourself’ is used with a preposition)
The phrasal verb “pick up” allows placing objects between the verb and the preposition, like ” pick it up please ” vs ” pick up the pace, buddy! ” But only one objects can be placed there, I think. I believe this is because they are very special or that the only object in all that I like that is the one object, not the object within us”, argues Dr. Hs.J. Donnelly from Texas. Can I just say ” pick myself a copy up”?
To “pick up” can mean “find it and take possession of it “, and it can mean just “take something in your hand “. C) Is it worth owning up to a copy of the current paper?
Because I am not exposed much to British English nowadays, I can’t really say that it’s specific to Am.English, although it’s not that unusual, and I venture a guess that it exists in BE too.
No, it’s gender specific.
No special mood is expressed in this phrase. Is it rather casual, yes, but not a joke or jeer?

When the conjunction ” or ” is exclusive, meaning that if it connects elements (called alternatives) that are both in singular, the phrase is considered to have singular number, which means you need to use ” is ” in a sentence like
The subject or the object of the sentence is direct dependent…
If one of the alternatives is in plural, it depends on the relative order of the alternatives in the sentence. Distinguish the number of the closest to the verb verb
