Family (Family Tree) - Beginner German with Herr Antrim #14
This is Bob.
Bob is 35 years old.
He had a wife, Steffi.
In 2007 (2017, oops) Bob was still single.
Then he met Steffi.
First she was his girlfriend and he her boyfriend.
Then she became his fiancée and he her fiancé,
because they became engaged.
Their wedding was celebrated in 2012.
Then Bob became the husband and Steffi the wife.
You can also call husband and wife spouse.
They have three children, Jan, Sophie, and Luca.
They are Bob’s and Steffi’s offspring.
Jan is the older son and Luca the younger.
Sophie is the daughter.
Sophie is the sister of Jan and Luca.
Luca is the brother of Sophie and Jan.
They are all siblings.
Their parents are Bob, the father, and Steffi, the mother.
The children call Bob either papa or dad
and Steffi either mama or mom.
In 2016 Bob and Steffi got divorced.
In 2017 Bob married a new wife, Katrin
and Steffi a new husband, Christian.
Bob’s new wife is the stepmother of Jan, Sophie and Luca.
Steffi’s new husband is the stepfather of the children.
Katrin was a widow.
Her husband died a few years ago.
When the wife of a man dies, you call this man a widower.
Christian already had two children when he married Steffi.
Anna is the stepsister and Leon the stepbrother of Jan, Sophie and Luca.
Christian’s children are all are the stepchildren of Steffi.
Anna is the stepdaughter and Leon the stepson.
Bob and Katrin have a son and a daughter together.
Laura is the half-sister of Jan, Sophie, and Luca
and Jannik the half-brother.
Laura and Jannik are twins.
They are not identical twins.
They are fraternal twins.
That means they don’t look the same.
Bobs parents are the grandparents of Jan, Sophie and Luca.
Their grandfather and grandmother have two sons,
Bob and Daniel and a daughter, Nadine.
Daniel is the uncle of the children.
Daniel’s wife, Melanie and Bob’s and Daniel’s sister, Nadine
are the aunts of Jan, Sophie and Luca.
The children of Daniel and Melanie are the cousins of Jan, Sophie and Luca.
Julia is the cousin (female) and Dennis the cousin (male).
Jan and Luca are the nephews of Daniel and Melanie.
Sophie is their niece.
Daniel is the brother-in-law of Katrin.
Nadine is Katrin’s sister-in-law.
Klaus is her father-in-law and Birgit the mother-in-law.
Katrin is the daughter-in-law of Klaus and Birgit.
Bob is the son-in-law of Katrin’s parents.
The children of Bob call Klaus “grandpa” and Birgit “grandma”.
The siblings of Birgit are the great-uncle and great-aunt of Bob’s children.
The parents of Birgit are the great-grandparents of Bob’s children,
Dieter, the great-grandfather and Elke, the great-grandmother.
Jan and Luca are the grandsons of Klaus and Birgit and Sophie the granddaughter.
For Dieter and Elke they are the great-grandsons and great-granddaughter.
With all of this information, you can now draw Bob’s family tree.
If it looks like this, you understood everything correctly.
