Poet (Change the Gender)

In English grammar, nouns are categorized into different genders. The primary classifications relevant here are masculine gender, which refers to males, and feminine gender, which refers to females. Changing the gender of a noun typically involves transforming a masculine noun into its feminine counterpart or vice-versa.

There are several ways to change gender:

    
• By adding a suffix: Many masculine nouns can be converted to feminine by adding suffixes like "-ess" (e.g., actor - actress, host - hostess, prince - princess). "Poet" falls into this category, where the suffix "-ess" is added to form "Poetess."
    
• By using an entirely different word: Some gender changes involve completely different words (e.g., father - mother, brother - sister, king - queen, boy - girl).
    
• By adding a word before or after the noun: In certain cases, a word like "he" or "she" is added (e.g., he-goat - she-goat, grandfather - grandmother, landlord - landlady).

For the word "Poet," which is a masculine noun referring to a person who writes poetry, the feminine form is "Poetess." While "poet" can sometimes be used for both genders in modern English, "poetess" specifically denotes a female poet.
