Changing times
In some parts of the world, couples may live together but do not get married. In
this relationship they often call each other their partner. Where the child or children
live(s) with just one parent, especially after the parents have separated (= they don’t
live together any more), these are sometimes called single-parent families.
Friends
an old friend (= someone you have known for a long time)
a close friend (= a good friend/someone you like and trust)
your best friend (= the one friend you feel closest to)
classmates (= other people in your class)
flatmates (= people you share a house/flat with, who are not your family)
colleagues (= people you work with; they may or may not be friends)
Ex-
We use this for a relationship that we had in the past but do not have now:
The children stay with my ex-husband at the weekend. I saw an ex-girlfriend
of mine at the disco last night.
