Family sentences review

I have been reflecting on the sentence building activity and will upload a modified version of the words and notes to our new GLOW group.

A couple of additional things
new words le mari the husband and la femme the wife (also the word for woman)
to say my mother and father you have to repeat the my in front of father as it is a different word in French so ma mère et mon père
and you need to repeat the de in front of second noun in
le frère de Lisa et de Maggie for Lisa and Maggie's brother

Meanwhile test yourself with these phrases and sentences. You don't need to write them out unless you really want to. Just do them in your head. The answers are in the comments mais ne trichez pas!
