Families
Family
Family is very important in France, particularly at Christmas which is viewed as a family occasion.
la famille - the family
Here are some words to help you talk about your family:
ma mère - my mum
mon père - my dad
ma sœur - my sister
mon frère - my brother
To say you have brothers and sisters, you use j'ai (I have).
J’ai deux frères. - I have two brothers.
There are three ways to say 'my' in French. Just like adjectives, it depends on the GENDER and NUMBER. You say mon before masculine nouns; ma before feminine ones and mes with plurals.
So 'my family' is ma famille and 'my parents' is mes parents.
To introduce your family you use voici …
Voici mes grands-parents. - These are my grandparents.
Voici ma grand-mère et mon grand-père. - This is my grandma and my grandad.
