Gender Grammar Rules

In general, gender is used to distinguish between male and female, sometimes referred to as masculine and feminine. For example: my son and daughter are students the noun [son] is masculine, while [daughter] is feminine. The following examples use gender in different ways and places to demonstrate their behavior.

Grammar + Rules
my son is a student [masculine + noun]
her daughter is a student [feminine + noun]
he has a tall brother [adjective + masculine]
she has a tall sister [adjective + feminine]
his brothers are young [plural masculine + adjective]
his sisters are young [plural feminine + adjective]
