### In the lessons

A word of adult life and family stories: a child may learn that a parent has remarried, so there is now a stepmother or stepfather and maybe stepbrothers or stepsisters. Churches have their own rules about remarriage. Phrases: «remarry after a divorce», «never remarried».

### Note

Change y to i: remarries, remarried, but remarrying keeps y. The noun is «remarriage». «Re-» means again, as in redo, rewrite. Remarrying does not stop a parent being your parent; the new partner is a step-parent.
