The Noun and its Gender
In this section, we’ll discuss noun and its gender. Along with number and usage, every noun has a gender too. Based on that, noun can be classified into four types – masculine noun: when the noun represents a male member of a species. For example: Man, father, priest, boy, lion, feminine noun: when the noun denotes a female figure of a species. For example: Woman, mother, priestess, girl, lioness, common noun: when the noun represents a member of a species without specifying the gender. For example: Child, parent, teacher, employee, neuter noun: when the noun doesn’t denote any gender whatsoever. For example: Chair, pencil, phone, stone.
