Lesson_29 > Grammar > Noun Gender 

Using nouns correctly in English is relatively simple, with standard rules and only a few exceptions.

In general, nouns answer the questions:

“What is it?” and “Who is it?”

They give names to things, people, and places.

Noun Gender :

Gender is sometimes shown by different forms or different words when referring to people or animals.

Masculine (M) . Feminine (F) . Gender Neutral (N) .

Examples :

M: Man
F: Woman
N: Person / People

M: Father
F: Mother
N: Parent / Parents

M: Husband
F: Wife
N: Spouse

M: Boy
F: Girl
N: Child / Children

M: Rooster
F: Hen
N: Chicken

Note: Many nouns that refer to people’s roles and jobs can be used for either a masculine or a feminine subject. like:

cousin, teenager, teacher, doctor, student, friend, colleague

For example:

Peter is my cousin, he is a doctor. Sarah is my other cousin, she is a doctor, too.
