SCENARIO
Imagine
you are talking to someone who doesn't know you very well. You are
getting to know each other and at some point the other person ask
you: "where
are your parents from?".
He/ she could
choose to be less formal and ask you:
¿De
dónde son tus padres?
Alternatively, he/
she could choose to be a little bit more formal and say:
¿De
dónde son sus padres?
OUR
TIP
This
is a straightforward question about your parents (third person).
When saying something about a third person (that is, neither you nor
the person asking the question) you DO NOT need be concerned
about the degree of formality in the original question. You can just
concentrate on answering the question.
Questions
like this one are usually answered by indicating:
- The nationality of the parents
- The country your parents come from
- The city/ town your parents come from
Assuming
your parents are English, from London, you could say:
- Mis padres son ingleses (my parents are English).
- Mis padres son de Inglaterra (my parents are from England).
- Mis padres son de Londres (my parents are from London).
- Mis padres son ingleses, de Londres (my parents are English, they are from London).
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿De
dónde son tus padres?
