What to Focus On

  • Gender tells us whether a noun is male, female, both, or neither.
  • There are four types of gender: masculine, feminine, common, and neuter.
  • Gender applies only to nouns that name living beings or things with gendered references.

  • Used for male beings.
  • Examples include: boy, man, father, king, bull, lion, etc.

  • Used for female beings.
  • Examples include: girl, woman, mother, queen, cow, lioness, etc.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All animals have fixed gender nouns like 'dog' for male and 'bitch' for female, so every animal must have two different words for male and female.

If a noun ends with -ess, then it must be feminine, and all feminine nouns end with -ess.

Collective nouns like 'class' or 'team' are always masculine or feminine depending on the people in them.

Memory Tips

Four types of gender in 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
