What is "gender"?
Gender is a grammatical category that classifies nouns, pronouns, and adjectives based on their association with masculine, feminine, or neuter qualities. This classification can affect word forms and agreement in a sentence. For example, in languages like Spanish and French, nouns are often assigned a gender, such as "doctor," which can be "médico" for a male doctor and "médica" for a female doctor in Spanish. In English, gender is less prominent, but it still appears in pronouns, such as "he" for masculine and "she" for feminine. Understanding gender is important for maintaining grammatical agreement and clarity in communication.
