What preposition can change a feminine noun into masculine noun?

There's no preposition that can change a feminine noun into a masculine noun.

Prepositions show the relationship between nouns and other words in a sentence, but they don't change the grammatical gender of a noun.

Here's why:

* Grammatical gender is a feature of some languages, not a feature of English. English doesn't have grammatical gender in the same way that French or German does.

* Nouns are inherently feminine or masculine in some languages. This is a property of the word itself, not something that can be changed with a preposition.

Example:

In French, the word for "table" is "table" and it's feminine, while the word for "chair" is "chaise" and it's feminine. There's no preposition that can make "table" masculine.
