Hello Grace !

I have a following question concerning

the using of the verb "have" in chinese

language, please. 

After using of the verb "have"

or "has", is it ALWAYS necessary to use

also the measure word "ge" ?

For example:

Hi Jiri, if people ask you like this"ni3 you3 di4di ma?你有弟弟吗？" The answer should be"wo3 you3 di4di."

But if he asks like this"ni3 you3 ji3ge4 di4di?你有几个弟弟？" Then you need to answer like this: wo3 you3 yi2ge4 di4di. 我有一个弟弟。
