No, they don't (thank Jove!).

However -- and this may be more than you need to know for now --, some forms of verbs do match their subjects in gender (and number and case). For instance the fourth principal part:

"The rose was given to the girl" is

"Rosa puellae data est."

"The books were given to the girl" is

"Libri puellae dati sunt."

Participles, gerundives, and all that fun stuff also take on gender.

I hope I explained this well. Perhaps someone else will fill you in on anything I may have missed.
