Masculine → names a male person or animal: king, nephew, lion, groom, wizard
Feminine → names a female person or animal: queen, niece, lioness, bride, witch
Common gender → a person or animal that can be male or female: teacher, student, parent, pilot, friend
Neuter gender → anything that is not a person or an animal, such as objects, places, ideas and plants: stone, cloud, freedom, tree. A tree is alive, but it is not a person or an animal, so it is neuter.
