What is Grammatical Gender?
Grammatical gender is a system in the grammar of some languages in which nouns are classified as belonging to a certain gender – often masculine, feminine, or neuter – and other parts of speech connected to the noun, such as adjectives or articles, must agree. For example, in English, nouns with natural gender, such as “boy” or “girl,” must agree in grammatical gender with any pronouns used to represent them. Therefore, “She is a nice boy” is ungrammatical in English. Other languages around the world have much more extensive and complex systems of grammatical gender.
