2 Nouns2.72.7AStudy:изGenderMale and female word forms: 'waiter/waitress' [> LEG 2.39-40]1 In many languages, the names of things such as book, chair, radio, table may begrammatically masculine, feminine or neuter. Often gender doesn't relate to sex, so that theword for 'girl' might be neuter and the word for 'chair' might be feminine.2 There is no grammatical gender for nouns in English. Though there can be exceptions [> 4.1 C],we use only he and she to refer to people and it to refer to everything else. It is the pronouns,not the nouns, that tell us whether the reference is to male or female:He is the person you spoke to. She is the person you spoke to.3 We still have a few male and female word forms (man/woman) and a few -ess endings that referto females: waiter/waitress, lion/lioness. In the case of people, this -ess ending is becomingrare. In the interests of sexual equality, words like author and manager refer to both sexes,rather than using 'authoress* or manageress for a woman.Write:Supply the missing words. Refer to this list as little as possible.actress, aunt, bachelor, bridegroom, cows, daughter, female, goddess, hens, heroine, heiress,lionesses, mares, nephew, nieces, nuns, prince, queens,'râm, saleswoman, sister, sow,spinster, uncle, waitress, widower.1 John's brother is a bank clerk and his ..АШМ^.... is a nurse.2 My aunt is very nice and my has a wonderful sense of humour.3 My is a little boy of four; my niece is a little girl of two.4 My father's brother and sister have never married.
