Theme I.3. The Noun.
1. The noun is a word expressing substance in the widest sense of the word: names of living beings (e. g. boy, girl, bird) and lifeless things (e. g. table, chair, book), but also names of abstract notions, i. e. qualities, states, actions (kindness, strength, sleep, fear, conversation, fight).
2. The noun has the following morphological characteristics:
1. Nouns that can be counted have two numbers: singular and plural (e. g. singular: a girl, plural: girls).
Nouns denoting living beings (and some nouns denoting lifeless things) have two case forms: the common case and the genitive case.
It is doubtful whether the grammatical category of gender exists in Modern English for it is hardly ever expressed by means of grammatical forms.
There is practically only one gender-forming suffix in Modern English, the suffix -ess, expressing feminine gender. It is not widely used.
heir heiress; poet poetess; actor actress; waiter waitress; host hostess; lion lioness; tiger tigress.
