English Grammar... by Winifred468(f): 12:07pm On Aug 13, 2015
=>I have a twin brother and we are the result(s) of my mum's 2nd pregnancy.
=>We have 2 elder brothers, an elder sister and a younger brother; that make's six of us.
N/B: A step brother and sister(from my father)


... Now i want to construct a sentence as regards the above sentences. My instinct tells me it's wrong but i do not know what the right sentence could possibly be. Please your corrections are needed.


"I am a twin. My twin brother and myself are the fourth born of my family. My mother takes care of us all including my step-siblings" or could it be
"I am a twin. My twin brother and myself are the fourth and fifth born(s) respectively of my family..."


Please am really confused here. I do not blame myself coz am only an ESL user not an English lady.
