e.g.:

Marie asks Léa and Tom: What’s the name of your brother?(Comment s’appelle votre frère ?(link is external)) because Léa and Tom only have one other brother (frère(link is external)).

Marie asks Tom and Jerry: What’s the name of your sister?(Comment s’appelle votre sœur ?(link is external)) because Tom and Jerry only have one sister (sœur(link is external)).
