If we are talking about animate objects, like people and animals, defining a gender is easy in most cases.
But for inanimate objects, like a chair, a tree, the sky and so on, gender can be a built-in language feature or can be absent from a language.
Is grammatical gender applicable to English or is it not? I am asking whether a chair has no gender at all or is it of neutral gender?
