- In modern English, there is no true grammatical gender in this sense, though the differentiation, for instance, between the pronouns " he " and " she ", which in English refers to a difference in sex ( or social gender ), is sometimes referred to as a gender distinction . " A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language ", for instance, refers to the semantically based " covert " gender ( e . g . male and female, not masculine and feminine ) of English nouns, as opposed to the " overt " gender of some English pronouns; this yields " nine " gender classes : male, female, dual, common, collective, higher male animal, higher female animal, lower animal, and inanimate, and these semantic gender classes affect the possible choices of pronoun for coreference to the real-life entity, e . g . " who " and " he " for " brother " but " which " and " it " or " she " for " cow ".
