person from a later generation
A person who comes from another person in the past, like a child, grandchild, or great‑grandchild of that person.
รูปแบบการใช้:
a descendant of [someone/some group]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes confuse 'descendant' with 'ancestor'. Remember: an ancestor is someone in the past you come from; a descendant is someone in the future (or later generation) who comes from you or from another person. Spelling is also tricky: 'descendant' (with 'ant'), not 'descendent'.
คำพ้องความหมาย
offspring (Usually refers to children directly, while 'descendant' often includes many later generations.)
คำตรงข้าม
ancestor (An ancestor is someone you come from in the past; a descendant is someone in the future who comes from you.)
