stepfather: the (new) husband of your mother but not your biological father
stepmother: the (new) wife of your father but not your biological mother 
stepson: the son of your (new) husband / wife (he is not your biological son)
stepdaughter: the daughter of your (new) husband / wife (she is not your biological daughter)
stepsister: the daughter of your stepmother or stepfather
stepbrother: the son of your stepmother or stepfather
Sometimes one of your parents gets married again and they have more children. There

half-brother: the brother you have only one parent in common with .
half-sister: the sister you only have one parent in common with.
Even if your parent didn't get married (and had the child outside of marriage), they are still your half-brother or half-sister.
However, note that it is common to still call your half-brother or half-sister just your brother or sister (without adding the half- part).
