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).
