Grammatical gender refers to whether a pronoun is masculine, feminine, common, or neuter.
In English, all nouns are neutral. In German, it's neuter (das Haus). In languages which do not have a neuter gender, the word for house seems to typically be feminine (eg: la casa, la maison).
The word "town" is considered common gender, meaning it can be used with masculine or feminine articles. It is not typically classified as neuter gender.
A pronoun refers to its antecedent, which is the noun or phrase that the pronoun replaces. The antecedent must be clearly identified in the sentence to ensure that the pronoun's reference is understood. It is important to maintain agreement in terms of number, gender, and person between the pronoun and its antecedent.
The rule in pronoun-antecedent agreement states that a pronoun (like he, she, they) must agree in number (singular or plural) and gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter) with its antecedent (the noun it replaces) in a sentence. Make sure the pronoun matches the antecedent in both number and gender for clear and consistent communication.
A pronoun should agree with its antecedent in gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter), number (singular or plural), and person (first, second, or third). It should also match in case if applicable (nominative, objective, possessive).

The pronoun 'its' is a possessive, singular, neuter pronoun.
The personal pronoun it takes the place of the noun neuter as a word for a word that has no gender or a thing that has no gender.

When used to take the place of a plural noun or two or more nouns, it can represent both males and females.Examples:Mom, can you pick me up? (replaces a singular noun for a female)Dad, thank you for the help? (replaces a singular noun for a male)Children, you are excused. (replaces a noun for a group of mixed gender people)
