Grammatical gender
Grammatical gender is defined linguistically as a system of classes of nouns which trigger specific types of inflections in associated words, such as adjectives, verbs and others. While Old English (Anglo-Saxon) had grammatical gender, Modern English is normally described as lacking grammatical gender,.
The linguistic notion of grammatical gender is distinguished from the biological and social notion of natural gender, although they interact closely in many languages. Both grammatical and natural gender can have linguistic effects in a given language. Some gendered forms are borrowed and used in English. For example, the French words,
The additional "e" is a marker of the feminine form and in this instance the natural and grammatical gender are matched.
For a system of noun classes to be a gender system, every noun must belong to one of the classes and there should be very few that belong to several classes at once. If a language distinguishes between genders, in order to correctly decline any noun and any modifier or other type of word affected by that noun, one must identify the gender of the noun. For instance, in Spanish,
