<\/a>English is not known for having gender specific nouns like some other languages (for example Spanish or French), but gender specific nouns do exist in English. \u00a0Because English does not have as many gender specific nouns as other languages, one nice thing about English is that you don\u2019t have to worry about gender agreement between nouns and adjectives.\u00a0 So, when you start thinking about how hard it is to learn English, just remember that you don\u2019t have to worry too much about noun gender and gender agreement in English. (Learning how to do this in other languages is something that most English speakers find very difficult.)<\/p>\nThere are a small number of words in English that do have different forms to indicate male and female gender though, but really these are very few.\u00a0 Other than gender specific words for some animals (like: buck and deer, gander and geese) and words like man, woman, girl, boy, mother and father, English has only a few dozen gender specific nouns. Below I have listed some of the most common gender specific nouns found in English.\u00a0 If a neutral, non-gender specific, form of the word exists I also listed that word too. If a neutral form of the word doesn\u2019t exist, the male form of the word usually becomes the de facto neutral version. For some words, often words that are related to professions, if no female version of the word exists a neutral word has been created. Take a look at these and see if there are any new words you can add to your vocabulary.<\/p>\n
