Family
Hello,
Is the word family used in the following way in English?
- The Johnson family has taken the first-floor apartment this year. The Smith family had to settle for the ground-floor apartment.
Or should I say the Johnsons and the Smiths?
If the latter, and the name of the family is foreign, would you still expect an "s" for the plural – the Rossis and the Bianchis?
Thank you for your help
