Grammar Guru: Gender Matters

In German, all nouns are assigned a gender: masculine, feminine, or neuter. This gender affects the articles (der, die, das) and adjectives that accompany the noun. When learning animal names, pay attention to the gender of the noun to ensure correct agreement in sentences.
