Family is very important in France,
particularly at Christmas which is viewed as a family
occasion.

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.
