GENDER

+216.+ You notice in all of these tables that there are three forms

given for the third person singular, _he_, _she_, and _it_. These are

the only forms in which pronouns express gender. In all other forms the

gender can be determined only by the gender of the antecedent.

+He, representing a male, is masculine.+

+She, representing a female, is the feminine.+

+It represents a sexless thing, and hence is said to be of the neuter

gender.+
