關於Family的意思和用法的提問

A: Usually immediate family includes your parents, children, and siblings. Other relatives are extended family. Examples: aunts, cousins, in-laws.

A: It means "Are you and your family doing ok?"

A:
A nurturing family means a family that is very loving and caring towards their children. They care for their children and support them.

A: A family with high income makes a lot of money which means they can afford more things. They can afford better living conditions like a house, car, food and they can afford to send their kids to school. They just have a lot of options because they can afford it compared to someone who had a lower income.

A: > I added an information at the first question box? corner? the top?

I would say "question box". "Question box at the top" also sounds good. "Corner" doesn't sound good here.

Thanks for the quote. It is actually quite funny, full with subtle jokes :) E.g. in "Trespassers after an uncle, and William after Trespassers.", the two "afters" have different meanings.

The "Thresspassers W" board is another joke. It must have been originally something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trespasser#/media/File:Auction-storage-no-trespassing-sign-tn1.jpg

Now that I read the whole thing, I think that when Piglet says "had been in the family for a long time", he refers to the broken board. So it means that his family has owned the board for a long time.

Regarding why "had been" and not "have been": it is because it is indirect speech (also called reported speech).

Csaba says now: "I am hungry." → "Csaba says he is hungry."
Csaba says now: "I was hungry." → "Csaba says he was hungry."
Csaba says now: "I have been hungry." → "Csaba says he has been hungry."

Csaba said in the past: "I am hungry." → "Csaba said he *was* hungry."
Csaba said in the past: "I was hungry." → "Csaba said he *had been* hungry."
Csaba said in the past: "I have been hungry." → "Csaba said he *had been* hungry."

Piglet said in the past: "It is my grandfather's name, and has been in the family for a long time." → "Piglet said that it *was* his grandfather's name, and *had been* in the family for a long time."

A:
That would indicate that the family is supporting him.

A: "at" is correct. You could also say "for Christmas".

A: I went on a family trip to Sapporo last Saturday and came back on Monday.
It was sunny on the first and second day, but on the last day, there was snowstorm.
I saw a bunch of snow statues.
My biggest surprise was a statue of the Helsinki Cathedral.
It was made precisely.

A: really well written👍🏾

just a few suggestions though: it may sound better to start with “here’s/here’s a photo of../this is a photo of..”

and i think it’d be better to say “welcoming” instead of welcome in this context 🤓

A: I went with my family to an event where we could learn how to make a kite yesterday.
The kite is called "Gonboika", a japanese traditional kite.
My son made it, and could fly it.
A "Gonboika" can fly even if it's a windy day.
I recommend that you also make it with your family.

hope this helps ^^
