grootvader in inglese:

The clock, which my grandfather bought, is still in good order.

Hello, Grandfather.

My grandfather had completed the wood work and my grandmother finished the piece with paint.

The father of a father is a grandfather, a grandfather's father is a great-grandfather, a great-grandfather's father is a great-great-grandfather, but no word has been decided upon for the generations before great-great-grandfather.

Since I could remember, my grandfather has had a garden.

My grandfather, who collected baseball cards as a kid, used to compare batting averages between players. He started a lot of arguments with his friends that way.

In my secondary school days, I was much impressed by how my hospitalised grandfather would often tell the nurses there, "Thank you, I appreciate your help."

Every day grandfather and grandmother gave the kitten plenty of milk, and soon the kitten grew nice and plump.

My grandfather taught me the good habit of squirreling away money for a rainy day.

The two of you need to take the basket of apples over to your grandfather, the mother said. "You will grab it from one side, and you - from the other. And that's how you'll set out."

My old-fashioned grandfather complains about the way girls are dressed nowadays.

Her grandfather extrapolated an isolated incident at a grocery store into a series of sweeping, unflattering generalizations about every Mexican on earth.

My grandfather often doesn't remember what happened yesterday but can describe in detail what happened forty years ago.

My grandfather was quite a learned man for his time and place but he just wasn't cut out to be a businessman.

My grandfather amassed a great fortune in the stock market and then lost it all over night.
