Hello!
I am mija121. We all know, English is a very difficult language. But when it comes to gender in English, things get started. Today we will dive deeper into when to use this information.
Let's say you know a person or a group of people, and they are actors. This is how you would refer to each gender:
- Woman: Actress
- Women: Actresses
- Man: Actor
- Men: Actors
- They (Men and Women): Actors
Most of the time, a woman's title ends in "ess". But not men.
Another example is "waiter".
Can you guess what a group of women who have this title are called?
If you guessed "waitresses", you are correct!
Most jobs, like "baker" or "chef" do not have a different aspect to it with female/male pronouns. If you want to tell if you need to add "ess" or "esses" at the end of a job, check to see if there is a "t" in that word. This doesn't work every time, but still keep a look out.
Now you know when to use new gender aspects in English! Thank you for reading.
