THE FAMILY MIX

Nowadays in many countries a person can get married more than once. These are the terms used to describe
the "new" members of the family when someone gets remarried."Step-" means that you are related as a result of
one parent marrying again

STEPFATHER : THE (NEW) HUSBAND OF YOUR MOTHER BUT NOT YOUR BIOLOGICAL FATHER
STEPMOTHER : THE (NEW) WIFE OF YOUR FATHER BUT NOT YOUR BIOLOGICAL MOTHER
STEPSON : THE SON OF YOUR (NEW) HUSBAND / WIFE (HE IS NOT YOUR BIOLOGICAL SON)
STEPDAUGHTER : THE DAUGHTER OF YOUR (NEW) HUSBAND / WIFE (SHE IS NOT YOUR BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER)
STEPSISTER : THE DAUGHTER OF YOUR STEPMOTHER OR STEPFATHER
STEPBROTHER : THE SON OF YOUR STEPMOTHER OR STEPFATHER

Sometimes one of your parents gets married again and they have more children. There

HALF-BROTHER : THE BROTHER YOU HAVE ONLY ONE PARENT IN COMMON WITH .
HALF-SISTER : THE SISTER YOU ONLY HAVE ONE PARENT IN COMMON WITH.

Even if your parent didn't get married (and had the child outside of marriage), they are still your half-brother or half-
sister. However, note that it is common to still call your half-brother or half-sister just your brother or sister (without
adding the half- part).
