When u mean "Family" as a whole, (as a collective Noun), in this case it is "Gets".
But when you mean all the family memebrs sperately, then you say "Get".
E.g. The Family is sitting at the table having dinner.
E.g. All the family are sitting at the table having inner. (all the family members)

The words 'noun' and 'family' should not be capitalized; nor should 'get' or 'gets'. The word 'you' is thus spelt, and anyone who professes to be answering a student's questions here should use correct English, not texting slang. Also, please check your posts for spelling errors BEFORE you click the 'Post' button, Likaa. You have made three very obvious spelling errors.
