Fascinating Fact:

un grand-père means “a grandfather”, une grand-mère means “a grandmother”.

In GCSE Fast French, family and friends vocabulary helps you talk about people close to you, relationships, and daily routines. These nouns are common in role plays and writing tasks, where you might describe who you live with, who you get on with, and what you do together.

  • Relationship: The connection between people, such as family links or friendships.
  • Possessive: A word that shows who something belongs to, such as “my”, “his”, or “their”.
  • Description: Information that explains what someone is like, often using simple adjectives and short extra details.
What family vocabulary do I need for GCSE French?

For GCSE French, learn the common family nouns and practise using them with the correct articles. It also helps to learn a few extra words for step-family or relatives, so you can describe your life more accurately.

How do I say “my” and “their” with family words in French?

In French, possessives change depending on whether the noun is masculine, feminine, or plural. You choose the form that matches the noun, so learning each family word with its article makes this much easier.
