When talking about family in French, it is important to remember how possessive adjectives work and how to ask about age.
Possessive Adjectives: Unlike English where "his/her" depends on the owner, in French the possessive agrees with the noun being owned! Mon père (my father) [cite: 21, 22] and Ma mère (my mother)[cite: 14, 15].
"Quel âge as-tu ?": In French, you don't "are" a certain age, you "have" it. To ask age, you say "What age do you have?" and answer with J'ai ... ans[cite: 22, 23].
