+=== Examples in Sentences ===
+Now that you know the words, let's see how they can be used in sentences. Here are some examples that illustrate their context:
+{| class="wikitable"
+! Danish Sentence !! English Translation
+|-
+| Jeg elsker min mor. || I love my mother.
+|-

+|-
-=== Extended Family ===
+| Min fætter spiller fodbold. || My cousin plays soccer.
-Now that we know how to refer to immediate family members in Danish, let's move on to extended family members:
+|-
+| Svigermor hjælper med børnene. || Mother-in-law helps with the children.
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Danish !! Pronunciation !! English

 |}
-* Notice that in Danish, to specify if the grandparents are from the father's side or the mother's side, they use "far" for father and "mor" for mother, which is the equivalent of adding "-ernal" or "-ternal" in English. Thus, for paternal grandfather, we use "bedstefar" while for maternal grandfather, we use "farfar".
