Module 2 - Family

CONTENT
In the first part of this module, family types, family members, relatives and the importance of
family is presented through some examples.
 How can you define the term ‘family’?
 What is the importance of family?

Family Types
You may have a nuclear family or an extended family.
Your nuclear family includes your father, mother and siblings.
Your extended family includes all of the people in your father and mother's families.
You may also have a stepfamily. Your stepfamily includes people who became part of your

Your family members are also called your relatives. Your sibling is your brother or sister. If
you have 1 brother and 2 sisters, then you have 3 siblings. Your parent is your father or
mother. Your child is your son or daughter. Your spouse is your husband or wife.
Note that spouses and step-relatives are relatives by marriage. They are not blood relatives.
Your father and mother are related by marriage. But your father and you are related by blood.
In a family, the word generation means all the people in one stage of the family. For
example, your parents are one generation, you and your siblings are the next generation, and
your children and their cousins are another generation.

CONTENT
In this part, we will learn about the life of a child actor, Roman Griffin Davis. Also, some
details about his family members and their lives are given in the text.
 Do you want to be famous?
 What are the advantages and disadvantages of being famous at an early age?
Who is Roman? a child star, a 13-year-old actor, Ben and Camille’s son
How many people are there in Roman`s family? There are 5 people in Roman’s family.
What are the pets in Roman`s family? a cat and a dog
Whose pet is the cat? It is Roman`s cat. (Roman has got a cat and a dog.)
Whose pet is the dog? It is Roman`s dog.
Whose pet is the goldfish? It is Hardy`s goldfish. (Hardy has got a goldfish.)
Whose pet is the hamster? It is Gilby`s hamster. (Gilby has got a hamster.)
Whose pet is the horse? It’s Ben`s horse.
 Ben has got a horse. / Ben`s got a horse.
 I have got a cat. / I`ve got a cat.

FUNCTION
We use possessive 's to say that something or someone belongs to a person, is connected to a
place, or to show the relationship between people. The possessive’s always comes after a
noun.

Noun + 's or s
' noun

Singular Sam's bicycle

Sam and
house
Emma's

my parents' friends

Plural my children's toys

Plural Nouns ending S


The rule is: Plural nouns ending in S… we only add an apostrophe.
 Where are the dogs’ bones?
We only have an apostrophe after the S in dogs because dogs is a plural noun ending in S. We
cannot say: Where are the dogs’s bones? No, this is NOT correct.
Compare these two sentences. Pay attention to the position of the apostrophe:
 Where are the dog’s bones?
(refers to ONE dog and its bones)
 Where are the dogs’ bones?
(refers to TWO (or more) dogs and their bones)
There is NO difference in pronunciation between dog’s and dogs’.
So when someone is speaking, how do we know if they are talking about one dog or two
dogs? It depends on the context.
