11 Nouns with Both Genders
Advertising
Introduction
Nouns refer to a person, place, thing, event, substance or quality.
We can find nouns which are the same for masculine and feminine genders.
Form
There is no fixed rule for the formation of nouns with both genders.
We need to know that some nouns do not have two different forms and we use the same word for all genders.
The most commonly used nouns for both masculine and feminine genders are: cousin, doctor, driver, friend, student, teacher, teenager…
Example
- Doctor
- My favourite aunt is a doctor.
- My favourite uncle is a doctor.
- Driver
- Adam likes cars. He is a good driver.
- Julia likes cars. She is a good driver.
- Teacher
- My dad works at school. He is a teacher.
- My mum works at school. She is a teacher.
Use
We use nouns to refer to people, places, things, events, substances or qualities.
There is no fixed rule about the nouns which are the same in masculine and feminine genders. We just have to study these words and remember that they remain the same in the two forms.
Summary
There are certain nouns which are the same for both masculine and feminine genders.
The most commonly used are: cousin, doctor, driver, friend, student, teacher, teenager…
For example:
— “My mom works at school. She is a teacher.” = Teacher refers to mom and she, therefore, refers to a feminine noun.
— “My dad works at school. He is a teacher.” = Teacher refers to dad and he, therefore, refers to a masculine noun.
