In my native language, it is usually alright to say "our mom" whenever I'm referring to "my mom". But then, what is correct in English?
My mom gave me and my brother a ride to school yesterday.
Is it wrong to say "my mom" in this instance, since my mom is the mother of both me and my brother? I guess I don't feel too comfortable saying "Our mom gave me and my brother a ride to school yesterday," since saying "me and my brother" after "our mom" sounds superfluous for some reason. Please help!
EDIT: Oops, sorry for not being clear! My brother was not standing next to me at the time. Does this fact affect things?
