Family sharing repas

Pour Thanksgiving, ma famille ________ un délicieux repas.

Why is the answer partageait not partageaient if family is singular?

But then again how can repas be shared if family is singular?

Bonjour David,

In French, the word "famille" is always singular, while in English it can be either singular or plural. 

Some plural English nouns are singular in French and vice versa

A similar question has been posted in the forum before. Take a look at the link below:

singular or plural

Also, take a look here:

ma famille habite en France

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
