What to Focus On

  • Masculine gender refers to males.
  • Feminine gender refers to females.
  • Common gender refers to both males and females.

  • Some feminine nouns are made by adding '-ess' to the masculine form.
  • Spelling may change before adding '-ess'.
  • Some gender pairs have completely different words.

  • Always think about who or what the noun refers to.
  • Living beings can be masculine, feminine, or common.
  • Non-living things are always neuter.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All people and animals have masculine or feminine gender, so every noun must be either M or F.

If a word ends with 'ess', it must be feminine, so all feminine words end with 'ess'.

Non-living things can never have gender, so all non-living nouns are neuter.

Memory Tips

Four genders of nouns: Masculine, Feminine, Common, Neuter

Masculine gender refers to male beings

Feminine gender refers to female beings

Common gender applies to both males and females
