What are the four genders of nouns?

There is no concept of "four genders of nouns" in English. English does not have grammatical gender for nouns, unlike many other languages such as Spanish, French, German, and Latin.

Grammatical gender refers to a system where nouns are classified into categories (e.g., masculine, feminine, neuter) and this classification affects the agreement of other words like articles, adjectives, and pronouns.

Here's a breakdown:

* English: No grammatical gender. We don't change words based on the gender of the noun.

* Other languages: Grammatical gender affects how words are used. For example, in Spanish, "el" is used for masculine nouns (e.g., "el libro" - the book), while "la" is used for feminine nouns (e.g., "la mesa" - the table).
