According to the gender of the object or person is a guideline for when to use feminine or masculine designations.

Specifically, English generally functions as a gender-less language in that either a neutral term or one form of feminine and masculine possibilities predominates. In gender-ful languages, femininity or masculinity may be obvious in terms of people. But it may not be obvious in terms of concepts, objects and things.
