The gender of nouns in a language is a set of two or more categories that determine agreement with modifiers. Grammatical gender has nothing to do with physical gender, but is entirely a matter of form. Where there is no need for agreement, as in Modern English, there is no grammatical gender.

In English grammar words generally do not have a gender unless specifically referred to in phrases such as "Those are his jeans". However the gender is not transferred to the noun it is merely a description.

In other languages they can be and are assigned.
