Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

[small crag]

In French, you have to change the possessive pronoun based on the gender of the possessed noun.
"my" for instance can be:

• "mon" for singular masculine nouns
  mon frère <=> my brother
• "ma" for singular feminine nouns
  ma soeur <=> my sister
• "mes" for plural nouns
  mes parents <=> my parents

"famille" is feminine, thus you have to use "ma"

[old laurel]

we have to use ma here as the gender of the noun famille is féminin.

la famille, une famille, ma famille

dans means « in(side) »

ma famille habite dans une maison
my family lives in(side) a house

à is more commonly used to mean « at »
