Introduction
This post deals with describing people/ family.
Imagine you are talking to a friend or a work colleague. You are talking about family/ relatives. The other person wants to know about your family and says to you "what is your family like?".
¿Cómo es tu familia?
Alternatively, he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿Cómo es su familia?
OUR TIP
Answering that question should be quite straight forward. You should NOT need to consider more formal or less formal replies. Just say something about your family.
Perhaps you want to:
- Give a general description of your family
- Give your marital status
- Describe your husband/wife/ partner
- Give the number of children you have
- Describe each one of your children
- Describe some other relatives
Here are some examples of what you could say about your family:
