@MichelPatrice yes, I was reading about the way inanimate and animate classes are effectively another two 'genders' grammatically. In English, inanimate nouns (table, house, door etc) are non gendered and get a neutral 'the' or 'it' etc. Sometimes machines, like cars or ships, are referred to as 'she' but that's an affectation. With animals 'it' can always be used but if the gender is known then he or she is far more likely.... languages are complex!!!
