Vocabulaire de la famille et génitif en anglais
Family and friends vocabulary focuses on naming relatives and describing personality. To show who a person belongs to, use the genitive after the name, like 'Sarah's brother'. Possessive adjectives like 'my', 'his', or 'her' are essential to describe relationships. Remember that is not 'is' unless it acts as a contraction. Personality adjectives help describe friends. Always ensure you distinguish between linear family members like parents and collateral ones like cousins. Keep your sentences simple using the verb 'to be'.
