Worksheet Overview

Many nouns have both a masculine (male) and a feminine (female) version.

 

For example:

 

prince and princess

prince and princess

 

The feminine noun is often formed by adding the suffix -ess to the masculine noun, but there are many other nouns where the masculine and feminine versions are completely different words.

 

For example:

 

bride and groom

husband and wife
