What are the genders of nouns give examples?

Nouns in English don't have grammatical genders like many other languages (e.g., French, Spanish, German). Instead, they are either common or proper.

Here's a breakdown:

Common Nouns:

* General names for people, places, or things:

* Examples: cat, dog, tree, city, book, chair, happiness

* No specific gender:

* Examples: The cat is sleeping. The tree is tall. The city is busy.

Proper Nouns:

* Specific names for individuals, places, or things:

* Examples: John, London, Amazon River, Earth

* No inherent gender:

* Examples: John is a doctor. London is a capital city.

Gendered Pronouns:

* Pronouns in English *do* have gender (he/him/his, she/her/hers, they/them/their).

* We use pronouns based on the *person or thing* the noun refers to, not the noun itself:

* Example: The dog is barking. He is happy to see me. (The dog is male, so we use "he")

Key Point: English nouns don't have grammatical gender. We use pronouns based on the real-world gender of the person or thing the noun refers to.
