Wizard’s Wisdom: Gendered Animals

In Portuguese, most animal names have a gender. For example, ‘dog’ is cão (masculine) and ‘cat’ is gato (masculine), while ‘bird’ is pássaro (masculine) and ‘elephant’ is elefante (masculine). Paying attention to the gender of animals is essential for using correct grammar.
