Gender
There are four kinds of gender.
1. Masculine gender: A noun which is used for a male person or a male animal is
said to be in the masculine gender. For example, father, manservant,
he-goat, milkman.
2. Feminine gender: A noun which is used for a female person or a female animal is
said to be in the feminine gender. For example, mother, maidservant,
she-goat, milkmaid.
3. Neuter gender: Nonliving things cannot be distinguished as male or female, so
they are said to be in the neuter gender. For example, table, water, forest, sky.
4. Common gender: Nouns that can be used for both males and females are
said to be in the common gender. For example, parent, child, friend, student,
