Summary
Nouns have three genders: masculine, feminine, and neutral.
We usually use he and she for people, however we use it for things and animals (we can use he or she for domestic animals).
For example:
— “My father doesn’t eat meat. He is a vegetarian.” = We use he because father is masculine.
— “My mother doesn’t eat meat. She is a vegetarian.” = We use she because mother is feminine.
— “My parents don’t eat meat. They are vegetarian.” = We use they because ‘parents’ refers to both the father and the mother, so the following pronoun should be plural.
— “The cat sleeps during the day. It is so cute.” / “The female cat sleeps during the day. She is so cute.” = We can use it or she as it is a domestic animal and female.
