Prompt 2: Show photos and describe your family

This prompt is for when you want to describe people in pictures. You can say things like “This is my mother” or “That is my cousin.”

Let’s pretend I’m showing you pictures of my family. Please ask me, “Who is this?” and “Who is that?” I will describe each person using simple sentences like “This is my father.” Please continue asking about different people.

Tips and Common Mistakes

✅ Use “He is” and “She is” for People

When you talk about your family, remember to use “he” for a boy/man and “she” for a girl/woman. Do not use “it” for people.

• ✅ Correct: He is my brother.
• ❌ Incorrect: It is my brother.

✅ Don’t Forget the Verb “is”

Some beginners forget to include the verb “is” in their sentences. Every sentence with “he” or “she” needs “is” to be complete.

• ✅ Correct: She is my sister.
• ❌ Incorrect: She my sister.

✅ Capitalize Family Titles When Starting a Sentence

When writing sentences, always start with a capital letter. Also, “I” is always capitalized in English.

• ✅ Correct: This is my mother. She is a teacher.
• ❌ Incorrect: this is my mother. she is a teacher.

✅ “This is” vs. “He is / She is”

Use “This is…” when you are introducing someone for the first time. After that, use “He is” or “She is” when talking more about the person.

• This is my father. (first time introduction)
• He is a doctor. (talking more about him)

✨ Bonus Tip: Practice with Photos

Show a photo of your family and try to describe the people in English. This is great practice and helps you get used to the structure:
“This is my [family member]. He/She is [job or description].”
