Learn how to name your family members in English. Practice saying who is in your family using simple words.

Parents and Siblings

In English, we use special words for the people in our family. Your mother and father are your parents. A brother is a boy from your mother and father. A sister is a girl from your mother and father. We use the verb 'have' to talk about our family. For example, you can say 'I have one brother' or 'I have a sister'.

This is my mother.Introducing your female parent.
I have one brother.Saying you have a male sibling.
She is my sister.Showing your female sibling.

Husband, Wife, and Children

When people get married, the man is a husband and the woman is a wife. Your son is your boy child. Your daughter is your girl child. Together, they are your children. You can say 'I have two children' to talk about your son and your daughter in a simple and clear way.

He is my husband.Introducing your married man.
We have a daughter.Saying you have a girl child.
This is my son.Introducing your boy child.

Grandparents

Your mother's parents and your father's parents are your grandparents. The man is your grandfather and the woman is your grandmother. In everyday English, many people call them 'grandpa' and 'grandma' because it sounds friendly and warm. You can say 'My grandparents are very nice'.

This is my grandfather.Introducing your parent's father.
My grandmother is kind.Describing your parent's mother.
