My wife asked my 5 year old if he had his almonds, nuts and raisins.
Which of the following is the most natural response for him to this question?
1 I have already had them, Mummy.
2 I have already eaten them, Mummy.
3 I have already finished them
They are all correct but, 1 would be the most natural. 2 and 3 are strange because it would be simpler to say I finished them or just one word, yes .
