Family Vocabulary 2

Your family members are also called your relatives. You have

an immediate or nuclear family and an extended family. Your immediate
family includes your father, mother and siblings. Your extended family
includes all of the people in your father and mother's families.

Your sibling is your brother or sister. If you have 1 brother and 2 sisters,

then you have 3 siblings. Your parent is your father or mother.
Your child is your son or daughter. Your spouse is your husband or wife.

You may also have a stepfamily. Your stepfamily includes people who
became part of your family due to changes in family life. These changes
may include death, divorce or separation. New partnerships create new
children. The new children and their relatives become part of your
blended family. Some people are born into a stepfamily.

Note that spouses and step-relatives are relatives by marriage. They

are not blood relatives. Your father and mother are related by
marriage. But your father and you are related by blood.
