parent of your mother or father
The father or mother of your mother or father.
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
[someone] is the grandparent of [someone]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes confuse "grandparent" with "grandfather" and "grandmother". "Grandparent" is gender-neutral and can mean either the grandfather or grandmother. Another common mistake is using "grandparent" when talking about two people; in that case, the correct word is the plural "grandparents" (e.g., "My grandparents live in Italy," not "My grandparent live in Italy").
