Tom is my sister and Ken is my brother. Don and Mary are my father and mother. They are my family.

Q: Can I say They are my favorite.?

thank you

No you can't. If you want to use "favorite" (in any context) you need to say your favorite...<i>something</i>. You could say that they are your favorite people in the world. They are your family and your favorite relatives, but you can't say that they are your favorite.

All the best,
Diana

Thank you

What if we put s at the end of favorite.
--> They are my favorites.

That would work perfectly. Cause it then is plural. Great work!!
