gender
Gender tells us about the male or female of a noun.
Nouns that are the names of males, are said to be of the Masculine Gender.
Some names of males may be as follows: boy, man uncle, father, brother, horse, dog, peacock, landlord, tiger, nephew, hero, master, sir.
And nouns that are the names of females, are said to be of the Feminine Gender.
Some names of females may be as follows: girl, woman, aunt, mother, sister, mare, bitch, peahen, landlady, tigress, niece, heroine, mistress, madam.
But, there are some nouns which are neither male nor female. Normally, they are the things (all non living things)around us. They are said to be of the Neuter Gender.
Neuter means neither (neither male nor female).
Some things belonging to the neuter gender are as follows: house, car, computer, pencil, apple, tree, flower, cloud, rain, rainbow, book, table, chair.
