Have already had

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

  

Top answer

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 .

Almonds are a kind of nut. It would be unusual to mention them separately.

His answer: Yes, Mummy.
