There is no grammatical gender in the English noun. In languages that do have grammatical gender, it has no necessary connection to physical gender. It is strictly a matter of form, and requires gender agreement in modifiers - and in some languages, in verbs.

In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.

Some examples of nouns for a female are:

  • aunt
  • cow
  • daughter
  • doe
  • duchess
  • ewe
  • girl
  • grandmother
  • hen
  • madam (ma'am)
  • mare
  • miss
  • mistress (Mrs.)
  • mother
  • niece
  • princess
  • queen
  • sister
  • wife
  • woman
