child of your son or daughter
The child of your son or daughter.
Schema d'uso:
[someone]’s grandchild
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse “grandchild” with “nephew” or “niece”. A grandchild is the child of your son or daughter, while a nephew or niece is the child of your brother or sister. Another common mistake is using the wrong plural: the correct plural is “grandchildren”, not “grandchilds”.
