Family is very important to everyone. Learning how to name family members in English is one of the first topics in school. A family tree helps us understand the relationships between relatives. It connects us to our past and our present. Let’s meet the members of a typical family in English.

The parents are the FATHER (dad) and the MOTHER (mom). Their children are the BROTHER (boy) and the SISTER (girl). Your father’s parents are your GRANDFATHER and GRANDMOTHER.

Your uncle is the UNCLE and your aunt is the AUNT. Their children are your COUSIN. A SON is a male child, and a DAUGHTER is a female child. A BABY is the youngest member. The whole group is the FAMILY. We love our RELATIVES. A WIFE is married to a HUSBAND.
