C. told his mother that the boy was    D. spoke to his mother that the boy was

Answer

C

【解析】考查直接引语变间接引语。转换后的句意为“他告诉他的妈妈说这个男孩非常淘气。”陈述句变为间接引语时，注意谓语动词时态上的一致。结合语境，故选C。

【名师点睛】：

这里要注意say,tell,speak的区别：say是及物动词，但只能是说出来的话作为它的宾语，即say to sb sth ;speak是不及物动词，即speak to sb .about sth;tell是及物动词，可接双宾语，即tell sb. Sth 。

考查直接引语变间接引语。转换后的句意为“他告诉他的妈妈说这个男孩非常淘气。”陈述句变为间接引语时，注意谓语动词时态上的一致。直接引语是一般过去时，则转换后的句子也应该为一般过去时，由say,tell,speak的区别可知C正确，故选C。
