In this lesson, you can learn how to talk about your family in English.

What do you like doing when you spend time with your family?

Talking about family can be a good way to start a conversation in English, so it’s

useful if you know what to say and if you have some questions to ask.

"There are ________ people in my family."

That’s not too hard, but it’s not so interesting, either!

"There are ten people in my family: I have two sisters, one brother, my uncle and aunt,

two grandparents and my parents of course."

"There are four people in my family: my wife, my two sons and myself."

Part two: Talking about your brothers and sisters.

How many brothers and sisters do you have?

Let’s make it more interesting by adding more information.

Are your brothers and sisters older or younger?

"I have two older brothers and one older sister.

"I just have one sister, who’s five years older than me."

"I’m the middle child: my brother is two years older, and I have a younger sister who’s

Part three: talking about your immediate and your extended family.

In English, we sometimes draw a line between your immediate family.

That means: you, your husband/wife, your children, parents, and brothers and sisters.

That means: aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, grandparents, grandchildren, and so

Now, you can give more details about the people in your family, like this:

"My immediate family is quite small, because I’m an only child.

My mum is one of five children, so I have a lot of cousins, who are kind of like my

There are six people in my immediate family: my parents, my brother and his wife, my sister

I have a lot of other relatives, but they live in Canada so we don’t see them often."

"I have three kids: two girls and a boy."

"We have one daughter, and my wife’s expecting our second child."

As always, you should add details to make your answers longer and more interesting:

Our eldest daughter has just started secondary school, and the two younger ones are still

He’s just three weeks old now, so we’re still getting used to things!"

"We have one daughter, and my wife’s expecting our second child.

We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, but we’ll find out in three months."

Part five: talking about your relationship with your family.

Finally, let’s add some information about how often you see your family, and what you

"I see my older brother once a week; we play tennis or basketball together."

"I try to spend as much time as possible with my kids."

You should know the answer: add more details!

Let's look: "I’m very close to my family.

We have lunch together every weekend at my grandmother’s house.

"I see my older brother once a week; we play tennis or basketball together.

I don’t see my other brother so often, because he lives overseas, although we talk on Skype

"I try to spend as much time as possible with my kids.

We play cards, watch films, or go to the park if the weather’s nice."

Now you should be able to make a longer answer talking about your family.

You should be able to talk about your relatives, your brothers and sisters, your children if

you have any, and your relationship with your family.

"There are five people in my immediate family, although my extended family is quite large.

I have two sisters, both younger, so I’m the oldest child.

I don’t have kids yet but I’d like to have a big family one day.

I see my parents and my sisters quite often, because we all live near each other, although

I don’t see my other relatives that much."

Let’s look at one more sample answer first:

"I come from a big family: I’m the fifth child, and I have three brothers and one sister.

They’re all close to each other in age, but there’s a big gap between them and me.

I don’t have children, but I have lots of nieces and nephews!

I don’t see my family often because I live in a different country, but I speak to them

regularly and we all get together once or twice a year, which is always very noisy but
