There are three genders in English: masculine, feminine, and neuter. The document provides examples of masculine and feminine nouns referring to people and animals. It notes that the feminine gender sometimes uses the suffixes "-ess" or "woman/female" and is sometimes used for countries, ships, and vehicles. Collective nouns like "baby" and pronouns like "it" are treated with the neuter case in English.
