Anonymous  +  214172 Mon, 10 Apr 06 11:27 PM Please are these sentences OK?: My son still needs nappies. (It means: He cannot use the potty yet. He still cannot use the potty.) Does your son still need nappies? *** Does your son need nappies yet? /It has probably different meaning, hasn´t it. The second sentence is probably a nonsense, isn´t it? - What about: Does your son need a potty yet?/ Does your son already need a potty? My son doesn´t need nappies any more. (It means: He can already use the potty.) Thank you for your answer                             Mowgli Anonymous

Yes Does your son still need nappies? OK *** Does your son need nappies yet? /It has probably different meaning, hasn´t it. The second sentence is probably a nonsense, isn´t it? Yes. - What about: Does your son need a potty yet?/ Does your son already need a potty? We usually say 'use the pottie', not 'need a pottie'. My son doesn´t need nappies any more. (It means: He can already use the potty.) es. We  also say 'he is toilet-trained'.
