Understanding Gender in Nouns

In English, nouns can have gender classifications:

• Masculine: Refers to male persons or animals (e.g., man, king).
• Feminine: Refers to female persons or animals (e.g., woman, queen).
• Common Gender: Can refer to both males and females (e.g., teacher, student).
• Neuter: Refers to inanimate objects (e.g., table, car).

Gender of ‘Fox’

• The term "fox" is commonly used to refer to the animal without specifying gender.
• The masculine term for a male fox is "dog fox" or "tod" .
• The feminine term for a female fox is "vixen" .

Applying Gender Change

• To change the gender of the noun in the sentence "The fox caught a mouse," we replace "fox" with its feminine counterpart.
• Therefore, the sentence becomes: "The vixen caught a mouse."
