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 - Hebrew
my son is a student
[masculine + noun] הבן שלי הוא סטודנט
her daughter is a student
[feminine + noun] בתה היא סטודנטית
