The first activity involves matching the family relationship words to those that describe the way someone acts.

mother  maternal

father – paternal

brother – fraternal

sister – sororal

The adjectives on the right can be used to describe someone who is not related to you but acts in a similar was to one of the relatives listed above. The word ‘fraternal’ is also used to describe twins that are not identical.

Generation: a group of people who were born and lived around the same time. 

Generally, cousins and siblings are part of the same generation and parents and their siblings are part of another generation.

These tend to be people a lot older and lived a long time ago. These are people who you would have never met.

Descendant: a person that comes from a particular family member.

Predecessor: a person who holds a position before another person.

For example, the predecessor in the Royal Family is the King or Queen who came before the current.

When someone leaves a job and a new person comes in, they are their successor.

Example sentence: Grey clouds usually

precede rain.

Proceed: to carry on or begin. 

Antecedent: an ancestor.

Succession: the order in which you inherit a position.

This is often used to talk about the line of succession for king or queen, that is, who is in line for the throne in the current generations.
