child of your son or daughter
The child of your son or daughter.
Padrão de uso:
[someone]’s grandchild
Erro comum:
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”.

descendant (More general; includes children, grandchildren, and later generations, not only the child of your child.)
