Could ser be right here if you're talking about their ages? For example, if your siblings are 12, 14, and 16 and "he" is the 14 year old?
We wouldn't use that... we normally say "O irmão do meio" (lit. Of the middle)
Can we say "meus irmão e irmã" instead of repeating the possessive pronoun?
Then, it is best to use singular: "meu irmão e irmã". But remember it can be ambiguous, for exemple, "Pedro é meu irmão e irmã", like he plays the role of you brother and your sister in your life.
Are these valid alternatives?
- Ele encontra-se entre meu irmão e minha irmã.
- Ele acha-se entre meu irmão e minha irmã.
Pronouns attract object, so your sentences would be "Ele se encontra/acha...."
Thanks, I keep making that mistake. Darn it ! =)
Pronouns attract object !!! I have to drill it into my head =)
