masculine and feminine...

The short answer to this is no: however, there are some clues to help you, for instance A noun describing a male person will be masculine A noun describing a female person will be feminine Some endings are usually masculine: -age, -ment, -eur, -er, -t Some endings are usually feminine: - té, -ion Most nouns ending in ?e will be feminine Many nouns ending in a consonant will be masculine However, these are only rough guides, and there are of course lots of exceptions.
