Foundations of Grammar 1: What is gender
Gender is a grammatical category that classifies nouns as feminine, masculine, or neuter in some languages. In English, nouns do not have grammatical gender, but can denote biological gender. In other languages, nouns have an inherent grammatical gender that impacts the spelling and conjugation of associated adjectives, pronouns, and verbs, rather than just denoting biological gender. Learning the gender of each noun is important as grammatical gender often cannot be predicted from the meaning or biological associations of the word.

Non-essential clauses remain non-essential when reduced to phrases and still require commas.

English has a large and mixed vocabulary due to extensive borrowing from other languages such as German, Latin, and Greek. It also has a high degree of inflectional simplicity compared to other European languages. For example, English has reduced noun inflections to a simple plural marker and possessive form. Verbs also have minimal inflections with the loss of most personal endings. Additionally, English uses natural gender for nouns based on the sex of what they refer to, rather than grammatical gender assigned to each noun as in other European languages. However, English spelling and pronunciation are not always correlated, making the language difficult for foreign learners. Idioms also present a challenge as their meanings must be memorized.
