Members of the family in English.

Instructions:
Use all 20 vocabulary words from the box below to complete the paragraph about your
family.

This is you. You have a father and a 1) _mother_. They are your 2) _parents_. Sometimes
you have a brother and/or a sister. Your mother and your father also have parents. The
father of your mother or, as we normally say, your 3) _mother’s_ father is your
grandfather. Your mother's mother is your 4) _grandmother_. Your grandfather and your
grandmother are your 5) _grandparents_.

Sometimes your mother or father have brothers and sisters. If your mother has a brother,
he is your 6) _uncle_. If your mother has a sister, she is your 7) _aunt_. If your aunt is
8) _married to_ a man, he is also your uncle. When your uncle and aunt have children,
they are your 9) _cousins_. We use the word cousin for a male or female. Now imagine
you are married. If you are married to a woman, she is your 10) _wife_. If you are married
to a man, he is your 11) _husband_. If you have children, the boy is your son and the girl is
your daughter. Your son and daughter are your 12) _children_.

Now imagine your daughter is married. She has a husband. He is your 13) _son in law_. If
your son is married, he has a wife. She is your 14) _daughter in law_. If you are a man, you
are her father in law. If you are a woman, you are her 15) _mother in law_. Now what
happens if your son or daughter have children? If your son or daughter have a son, he is
your 16) _grandson_. If your son or daughter have a daughter, she is your
17) _granddaughter_. Now imagine your brother is married. He has a wife. His wife is your
18) _sister in law_. If your brother has a son, he is your 19) _nephew_. If your brother has
a daughter, she is your 20) _niece_.
