how to use "extended family" in English

 "Extended family" refers to a family group that includes not only parents and children, but also other relatives like grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws. It's a broader definition of family that goes beyond the immediate nuclear family unit.

Here are some examples of how to use "extended family":

• General:
  • "We had a big family reunion with our extended family over the holidays."
  • "I'm close to my extended family."
• Specific:
  • "My extended family lives in different states."
  • "We often have family gatherings with our extended family."

Note: In some cultures, extended families may live together or in close proximity, while in others, they may be more geographically dispersed.
