In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female, such as male and female.
Example of gender specific nouns for a female are:
- aunt
- cow
- daughter
- doe
- duchess
- ewe
- girl
- hen
- mare
- mother
- queen
- sister
You will note that there is no common ending for these nouns that indicates that they are words for a female. A few English nouns have a common ending of -ess, such as waitress or empress, but this is not a reliable way to identify a gender specific noun for a female. The noun 'witness' is a common gender noun, a word for a male or a female; the noun 'dress' is a neuter noun, a word for something that has no gender.
