We change nappies in the UK.
I don’t know what you want to say about this fascinating process, but here are some recent conversations.

I’m going to change A’s nappy.
Here, have A. Her nappy needs changed.
What’s that funny smell? I think A needs a clean nappy.
Where’s S?
She went to change A’s nappy.
Have you changed A since she arrived?

Edit: My last example echoes Richard Beevor’s — in which the article itself is completely omitted and it is the baby that is changed.
That happens here too, but it’s much less common than the other examples.

Second edit: You’ve edited the original question!!

Third edit: No matter, the terminology is the same — assuming you are talking about cleaning the bits of baby that would be concealed by nappy.

I agree with all you say, Panj, except for your example:
Here, have A. Her nappy needs changed.
I’m sure you’ll agree that this should read: «needs changing».

Needs changing is very English English from my perspective.
Here, what I wrote is what we’d say.
Here, have A. Her nappy needs (to be) changed.I’ll look for the thread where this question was discussed and post it shortly — if I can find it.

The question is this.

Elwintee’s baby needs her nappy changing.
My baby needs her nappy changed.

Which do you prefer and why?
Is one of them considered incorrect?

If there was one thing guaranteed to make my mother gasp in horror at my English it was:

I think the cat wants fed. :cross:

I only did it to tease, of course

I wouldn’t say «have A» in this context, but I would say «her diaper needs changing» or «her diaper needs to be changed», but not «her diaper needs to be changing» (active rather than passive) and probably not «her diaper needs changed», though this last does make the right kind of sense.

In «her diaper needs changing», «changing» stands for «being changed». Where there is no ambiguity, a plain gerund can work as a passive gerund.

In «her diaper needs changed», we have a past participle used as a … passive infinitive? A noun? Not any stranger really than «I think A is afraid of the slide and she wants down», which I might say myself.

And I might say «She needs her diaper changed» for «she needs her diaper to be changed», and «I saw her diaper changed» for «I saw her diaper being changed.»

It seems, if I say them enough times, «her diaper needs changed» and «the cat wants fed» sound more and more natural to me.

Perhaps there is linguistic pressure to make this (little) leap?

jucami

The difference in opinion seems to be regional. When I moved from Michigan to Ohio, I noticed people saying things like «Her diaper needs changed,» and «The table needs washed,» and it sounded very strange to me. I was used to hearing «Her diaper needs to be changed» or «needs changing,» but certainly the meaning of «needs changed» is clear. Constructions like «needs changed» can sound incorrect to people who are unfamiliar with them, but in some places they are used frequently.

Thanks for the contribution, Jucami. I had a college roommate from Dayton, and he never used such constructions. I spent months on business trips to various parts of Ohio, and never heard such things. I wonder if you could characterize the speakers who say things like «The table needs washed»? Is it regional within Ohio, or particular to a certain age group?

I’m not doubting that you are reporting what you hear, but it sounds very odd to me. I’ve never come across it in any part of the U.S., and would like to learn more.

Loob

My Scottish husband says «needs changed».

I say «needs changing».

jucami

Here in Columbus, I hear «needs washed» from all kinds of people — my friends, my teachers…although I guess I maintain a Detroiter’s prejudice against it. Google results tell me it is a common construction in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio (so a Dayton native wouldn’t be likely to say it), as well as a pretty controversial topic among grammar enthusiasts.

Forgot to mention that the baby’s nappy needs changed doesn’t sound at all unusual to me (‘unremarkworthy’ as someone once said), and my mother probably wouldn’t gasp at that one. But similar constructions with want* sound very

very

Lancashire to me.

*I’ve been trying to think if this kind of thing’s possible with any other verbs/auxiliaries/doodahs, so far without success.

In California, I have never heard people say «needs changed,» or «needs washed.» It sounds very strange to me as well. I would say «needs changing» or «needs to be changed» (probably the former).

Needs changing is very English English from my perspective.
Here, what I wrote is what we’d say.
Here, have A. Her nappy needs (to be) changed.I’ll look for the thread where this question was discussed and post it shortly — if I can find it.

The question is this.

Elwintee’s baby needs her nappy changing.
My baby needs her nappy changed.

Which do you prefer and why?
Is one of them considered incorrect?

We seem to have lost sight of the original sentence. I went for «… her nappy needs changing» (rather than «changed»), but this has been converted in later posts to «… needs her nappy changing», which I would not say myself. She needs her nappy changing (not OK by me) is quite different from her nappy needs changing (OK by me). I would say «she needs to have her nappy changed«. Sorry if this just adds to the confusion!

Good point, and I apologise for the change in structure.
Here are four possible structures
1. Her nappy needs changing.
2. Her nappy needs changed.
3. Bella needs her nappy changing.
4. Bella needs her nappy changed.

From my part of the world, (2) and (4) are normal.
In (2), to be has been elided.
In (4) to have has been elided.
(1) and (3) are strange and I consider them typical of English English-speakers.
Of these, (3) sounds especially strange but it reflects a structure I have heard many times from natives of the north or north-west of England.

Elwintee, if I understand right, would consider (1) to be normal and (4) to be OK without the elision?

Yes, absolutely. But it’s fascinating to see how others would tackle this!

ewie

They all sound fine to me: I’d expect to hear any of them in the NW. BUT: (2) and (4) definitely have more of an (erm) vernacular ring to them.
I would also expect to hear any of them but using want instead of need because (now that I come to think of it) want is quite often used to

mean

need.

Packard

To my ear, «her diaper needs changed» would mean that she no longer is using Type I diapers and now requires Type II diapers. «Her diaper needs [have] changed.» For that reason, I would avoid that phrasing.

LV4-26

I suppose those who say «her nappy needs changed» would also say
The floor needs swept
Or would they?

I suppose those who say «her nappy needs changed» would also say
The floor needs swept
Or would they?

Essentially yes. I might not use sweep, but I believe that in general where Elwintee would say something needs verbing I would say that it needs verbed. The floor needs cleaned, washed or brushed.

Some of the references others have listed above suggest that such usage is Scottish. We are very close to the Scots in such matters

From the deep thought that was involved in the 2005 thread (and I think there’s another one yet to be found) I think this difference in usage is closely related to a subtle difference in the understanding of the verbs need and want.

My Scottish husband says «needs changed».

I say «needs changing».

We moved up to Scotland about 2 years ago.

I got a letter — an official letter about inoculations — which said something exactly like that (children need inoculated or similar).

When I mentioned it to the Health Visitor & and one of the GPs (who happened to be in the same room at the same time) they both said in unison but that’s correct!.

1. Her nappy needs changing.
2. Her nappy needs changed.
3. Bella needs her nappy changing.

Where I come from, I have to «translate» nappy to diaper, then 1 and 4 are natural, and I can get used to 2, but 3 says she needs her diaper to be in the process of making a change, perhaps becoming some other thing with no help from outside hands.

My native dialect is that of Northern Ohio and you can’t say «her diaper needs changed» there. It would have to be «needs changing» or «needs to be changed».

Further south in Ohio, and throughout large areas of the American South, you will hear «needs changed».

Dear All,

1-Something needs to be done
2-Something needs doing

As far as I know verb ‘need’ + ing or infinitive shows different meaning, but I’m not sure it does in this case. Are they really different literally?

Thank you very much and God blesses you All.

«Something needs doing» sounds extremely strange.

«Something needs to be done» is correct.

Moderator/member note: Hello Duhong. I’ve added your question to the end of an old thread which dealt with the same subject. As you can see from the answers given above, this is a surprisingly complex issue, with rather a lot of regional variation. If you have more questions after reading all this (and there are a couple of links to other previous threads here too), feel free to ask them here

In my experience,
— X needs/wants doing is the normal informal form;
— X needs/wants done is a regional variant, which I associate with Scotland;
— X needs to be done is fine, and may be preferable in formal writing.
— X wants to be done is not grammatical.

I just want to clarify that I was referring to the specific sentence «Something needs doing,» which is what I assumed duhong was asking about.

Sentences like «The car needs fixing,» «The wall needs painting,» etc. are completely normal in my experience, but I would never say «Something needs doing.» I would say «Something needs to be done.»

liliput

Awful, nonsensical, wrong and mistake are the first words that come to mind when I look at the phrase «her nappy needs changed» but that’s just my perception, clearly it’s used and acceptable in other dialects. Not «Standard English» though, I would say.

Well, from the point of view of a non-native, both look equally illogical and nongrammatical, with the -ing form looking a bit weirder.

Anyhow, in our books we learn the majoritarian versions (need -ing/to be -ed).

I would say «Something needs doing» if I have a particular «something» in mind. To say that doing nothing in unacceptable, I would say «Something needs to be done», not «Something needs doing.»

«X wants to be done» is personifying X, which is a different thing altogether.

majlo

Hello,
Do you come across or use yourselves this form? Is this even possible? For example, The dog needs fed. If it’s possible, is it more frequent than the version with ‘to be’?

‘The dog needs fed’ is not possible.

You could say ‘The dog needs feeding’.

Rover

Where did you come across this form? «The dog needs feeding» or (of course) «the dog needs food» are okay, but not «the dog needs fed». I can’t rule out that someone, somewhere might say «the dog needs fed» but I don’t recall ever seeing this form, and I definitely would say it is not more common than «the dog needs to be fed».

I believe it’s used dialectally — Scottish, perhaps? I seem to recall discussion of it in books. The standard construction is the overt passive ‘needs to be fed’ or the covert passive ‘needs feeding’.

majlo

Thanks for the source majlo. It does seem to be a regional American usage (as well as possibly being used elsewhere, as per entangledbank). The link from OneStroke froze my browser (I gather it’s a podcast? Some file types don’t seem to go well with my Mac) but I found a post on Language Log on «needs washed» (with reference to the Grammar Girl podcast) with a similar-ish map (in English this time) http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=3422

JamesM

The podcast actually states that it originated in Scotland/Ireland and was brought to the U.S. by immigrants. She also says that some people in her survey were stunned to hear that anyone said it anywhere, while people in the region were surprised to find out that everyone didn’t say it.

It’s definitely a regionalism. Whether it’s more common than the «to be» version in conversation probably depends on your location and background.

(I highly recommend listening to the podcast, by the way. It’s very interesting and informative.)

ewie

This subject has come up before: see above

«The dog needs fed,» is eqivalent to «The dog needs to be fed.»
It is a perfectly natural sentence in my version of English.

«The dog needs feeding,» is not. As I suggested above, it would mark the speaker as English English.

majlo

Would «The TV needs repairing.» mark the speaker as English English?

P.S. Does «English English» mean that you sound non-native?

JamesM

Non-native of which country, majlo? Panjandrum is Irish. He speaks Irish English. I’m sure he sounds completely native to other Irishmen.

majlo

I meant non-native of the English language.

ribran

English English = English as spoken by natives of England

You will often need to describe change in IELTS both in writing and speaking. Very frequently you are asked to discuss

what has changed from the past
what changes you think will occur in the future
what change you think should be made

To do this well, you need a variety of ways to discuss change and his lesson helps you out with some words and phrases to do just this. You will also find plenty of exercises to practise your skills in using change words and phrases.

What you’ll find in this lesson

Key words for change from the Academic Word List

The Academic Word List contains some of the most common words in English. These are exactly the sort of words you need for IELTS. These exercises are not intended to show you the meaning of the words, rather how they’re used. The idea is to focus on the word forms and families. One of the most efficient ways to learn language is to learn 3/4 words at a time and not just one. What do I mean? Don’t learn adjust learn 3 words

adjust
adjustment
adjustable

Adjust

Typically, if you adjust something you make a fairly small change to it – unless you say otherwise. You can still make a major adjustment! There are 3 common forms of this word. The verb is adjust, the noun adjustment and the adjective adjustable. See how they are used in this quick exercise:

Notes

a common colocation is make an adjustment
the most common preposition here is to. You adjust to something

Alter

The words you want here are alter (the verb), alteration (the noun), altering (a participle) and a related noun alternative.

Notes

Alternative is not strictly part of the AWL. It is though a very useful word and forms part of the alter word family. An alternative is something you have changed really.

You often make an alteration to something.

Amend

This is one of those words you need to be slightly careful using. It is often used in a quite specialist sense of making changes to a policy or a document. The two most common forms of the word are amend ( verb) and amendment ( a noun)

Notes

A common phrase is to make an amendment to something.

Evolve

Again this word has a fairly narrow use. It describes change but slow and gradual change. The common forms of the word are evolve (the verb), evolution (the noun) and evolved (a participle)

Notes

Things evolve from something into something else

Modify

If you modify something you change it but typically in a small way and the essence remains the same. The key forms of this word are modify (the verb), modification (the noun) and modified (a participle)

Some less common change words and idioms

It is always nice to be able to use some more advanced vocabulary. You do need though to be careful. These words are much less common and are often used only for specific types of change. You can use idioms when you speak but you have to be confident that you are using them accurately. You will get no reward for producing “learnt” language that is out of place.

refine/refinement

If you refine something you generally make it better often by looking at detail and/or by making a small change

One refinement to this idea would be to allow grandparents and not just parents be responsible for young people’s behaviour.

acclimatise/acclimatisation

If you acclimatise to something you get comfortable with a new situation. You can use this word when you move into a new culture or environment. It is broadly similar in meaning to get used to.

It took me some time to acclimatise to going back to work after having been a house husband!

overhaul

If you overhaul something you completely change it. It is properly used for engines but you can also overhaul systems.

The problems in primary education are so severe that the whole system needs to be overhauled.

tinker with

This one is idiomatic and so probably best used in speaking and not writing. If you tinker with something you typically spend quite a lot of time making small changes. Very often the changes are insignificant and perhaps a waste of time

I’m not a fan of DIY in technology. My brother spends ages tinkering with his computer. But I think he’s wasting his time as it never seems to work properly.

move with the times

This is an idiom you could use. If you move with the times, you keep up with new trends and ways of thinking.

My parents are fairly conservative. They haven’t really moved with the times and still have difficulty with technology such as smart phones.

turn things upside down

This is another idiom that could be useful in speaking. If you turn things upside down, you change them completely – often in a negative way.

Yes, I do think attitudes to exams and continuous assessment need to change but I think it’d be a mistake to turn things upside down. There’s a lot that is right in the current set up.

Types of change

When you write and speak about changes it helps to think how big that change is and/or how quickly it happens. If you do this, you get to use some more interesting vocabulary and also write more specifically. Both are these are good things!

Note here that you can still use the word change. It is a common word and not one you should avoid using. The idea is that when you do use it you think about the type of change.

Big changes

Beyond all recognition

Educational systems have changed beyond all recognition in the last 20 years.

Dramatic/ dramatically

The nature of communication has changed dramatically with the advent of computer technology.

Revolution/revolutionise

Smart phones have revolutionised the way we use the internet as we are now no longer reliant on computers.

Radical shift

In recent years there has been a radical shift in the way people think about the environment.

Transform/transformation

Science, and genetical modified crops in particular, have transformed farming practice.

Smaller changes

These phrases show smaller changes.

a slight shift

There has been a slight shift in attitudes towards immigration and more people are now willing to accept that it can help the economy.

a minor adjustment

There is no need to completely change the way our children are educated, the curriculum only need a minor adjustment.

Speed of change

rate/pace of change

Not everyone is happy with this rate of change and many would prefer that there were fewer new developments built in town centres.

an overnight change

It is unrealistic to expect this change to occur overnight as first of all attitudes towards air travel need to change.

slow but steady/slowly but steadily

Slowly but steadily more and more people are doing their shopping in out of town supermarkets and this is changing town centres.

a gradual process

This change has been evolutionary and a gradual process as it has taken people some time to get used to the idea of shopping online.

Some exercises

Practice questions

It’s good to have words but you really learn them bye using them for yourself. Take a look at these possible speaking questions and try and answer them. Don’t be afraid to use the word change but do think about how big/small the change is and how fast it happened. Do that and you should use better vocabulary and speak about detail.

How has your home town changed in recent years?

Is there anything you would change about your home town?

Have attitudes to marriage changed in your country?

Origin of change

First recorded in 1175–1225; Middle English verb cha(u)ngen, from Anglo-French, Old French changer, from Late Latin cambiāre, Latin cambīre “to exchange, barter”; Middle English noun cha(u)nge, from Anglo-French, Old French, noun derivative of the verb; of Celtic origin

historical usage of change

The English noun and verb change are both recorded at just about the same time (between 1200 and 1225), but the meanings of the noun follow those of the verb. The Middle English verb change, chaungen, chaungie, changen, chaingen (and other spelling variants) “to be altered, alter (a purpose, attitude, or opinion), transform or be transformed; substitute, exchange” come from Anglo-French chaunger, changir and Old French changier, with the same meanings. The French verb comes from Latin cambiāre “to exchange,” from earlier cambīre “to exchange, barter,” both of Celtic (Gaulish) origin.
The French development from cambiāre to changier is regular; other Romance languages have developed in differing ways: Spanish and Portuguese cambiar keep cambiāre more or less intact; Catalan has canviar; Sardinian has cambiare; Old Provençal has both cambiar and camjar; Old Italian (late 12th century) has cambiare, but modern Italian only cangiare.
The Middle English verb was used to refer to the exchange of money, coins, or currency, but the corresponding noun meanings did not appear until the mid-16th century; the specific usage “the balance of money returned to a buyer” is first recorded in 1665.
