Nouns are categorized into three groups based on whether they refer to a man, woman, or non-human.

Neutral nouns → referring to an animal or thing
In some languages, gender is a grammatical feature that affects not only the nouns themselves but also the adjectives and verbs that are used to describe them. However, in English, gender-specific nouns are relatively few, and the language does not have grammatical gender.

The actor is tall.

The actress is tall.
