Bola loves her family! She lives with her mother, her father, her grandmother, and her two brothers. Every family is different — some are big and some are small. But every family is special. Let us learn the English words for family members.

📚 New Concept

Family words:

  • Mother (Mama) — the woman who gave birth to you or takes care of you
  • Father (Papa) — the man who is your parent
  • Brother — a boy who has the same parents as you
  • Sister — a girl who has the same parents as you
  • Grandmother (Grandma) — your mother's or father's mother
  • Grandfather (Grandpa) — your mother's or father's father
  • Uncle — your mother's or father's brother
  • Aunt — your mother's or father's sister

Using family words in sentences:

  • "My mother cooks delicious jollof rice."
  • "I have two brothers and one sister."
