Here are three great words you can use in English:

• Sibling – a brother or sister
• Sibling rivalry – competition between brothers and sisters
• Only child – someone with no brothers or sisters
• The in-laws – your spouse’s family (mother-in-law, father-in-law, etc.)

These are great words to use when talking about family in everyday English or IELTS Speaking.

Now it’s your turn 👇
Tell me a little about your family in the comments.
