Grammar Series for Class 3: Masculine & Feminine Gender Nouns

Varsha says: "Lokesh, when we look at living beings, we use Masculine words for males and Feminine words for females. Let's explore how people, animals, and titles change!"

Lokesh replies: "Oh, like 'Boy' and 'Girl'? Are there specific rules to remember, Akka?"

Varsha says: "Exactly! For some words, the forms change completely, while others add a special suffix like '-ess' at the end. Let's break them down into three easy categories!"

1. Family & People
Masculine (Male) Feminine (Female)
BoyGirl
ManWoman
FatherMother
BrotherSister
SonDaughter
UncleAunt
NephewNiece
GrandfatherGrandmother
HusbandWife
LordLady
SirMadam
HostHostess
2. The Animal Kingdom
Masculine (Male) Feminine (Female)
LionLioness
TigerTigress
Bull / OxCow
Rooster / CockHen
DrakeDuck
GanderGoose
PeacockPeahen
FoxVixen
StallionMare
RamEwe
BuckDoe
DogBitch
3. Royalty & Titles

These pairs are great for teaching kids how suffixes like "-ess" change a word's gender.

Masculine (Male) Feminine (Female)
KingQueen
PrincePrincess
ActorActress
WizardWitch
HeroHeroine
MasterMistress
EmperorEmpress
GodGoddess
ShepherdShepherdess

💡 Varsha’s Easy Grammar Shortcut:

Notice the pattern with the suffix "-ess"! Many masculine titles smoothly change their form just by modifying the ending (like Actor → Actress or Lion → Lioness).

Keep an eye out for unique pairs that transform completely, like Gander becoming Goose or Buck turning into Doe!

Varsha's Grammar Academy Grammar Series for Class 3: Common Uncountable Nouns Varsha says: "Hey Lokesh! Today we are learning about Uncountable Nouns . These are things that we cannot count individually with numbers. For example, we can say 'one apple', but we can't say 'one water'!" Lokesh replies: "Oh! So how do we talk about how much water or sugar we have, Akka?" Varsha says: "Great question! We use special 'counting words' or containers, like 'a glass of water' or 'a spoonful of sugar' . Let's look at the four main groups together!" 1. Food & Ingredients Things we eat or use in cooking that come in large masses, powders, or tiny grains rather than separate sing...

Class 3 English · CBSE · Free Resources I Made These Noun Posters for My Son's Class 3 — and Now They're Yours Too! By Ganga  ·  RandomTyms  ·  Class 3 English Grammar Series My younger one — Diyan, Class 3 — had a grammar revision session coming up, and like every parent who's ever scrambled the night before, I wanted to give him something visual . Something he could look at once and actually remember, not a wall of notes to re-read three times. So I sat down and made these three posters on Nouns. One turned into two, two turned into three, and before I knew it I had a full mini-series covering everything Class 3 CBSE expects a child to know about Nouns — from the very basics to possessives. 📌 What Grade / Curriculum Is This For?
