00:00It was raining heavily.
00:02Manya and Martin were inside their room.
00:05They could not go to school today.
00:07They were looking upset.
00:09Just then, their parents entered the room.
00:12Hi, children.
00:14Why are you looking so sad today?
00:17Papa, today we missed an interesting class on genders of nouns.
00:22Don't worry, children.
00:24Today, I am your teacher.
00:26I'll tell you about noun and its genders.
00:30Superb idea, mom.
00:32Now we can learn even at home.
00:35Let us begin.
00:36Nouns family has four members.
00:39Masculine gender, feminine gender, common gender and the youngest member, neuter gender.
00:46Mom, will you please tell us where can we meet them?
00:50They are all here.
00:52Really?
00:53Yes, Martin.
00:54Listen, Martin.
00:55Let me explain.
00:56You are a boy and your father is a man.
01:00You both are masculine gender.
01:03Your sister is a girl and I am a woman.
01:06So we are feminine gender.
01:08All living beings are either masculine or feminine gender.
01:13But what about the other two family members of noun family?
01:18Manya's father was reading newspaper.
01:21Good question, Manya.
01:23Now it is my turn to play the role of your teacher.
01:27Let me tell you about the other two members of noun family.
01:31It's wonderful, papa.
01:33Children, some of the nouns are used both as masculine and feminine gender.
01:40They are called common gender.
01:43Father pointed towards a calendar hanging on the wall.
01:47Look at that calendar.
01:49You can see doctors and teachers are working in hospital and school respectively.
01:56They can be both masculine and feminine gender.
02:01Manya noticed the pictures of a doctor and a teacher.
02:05They were both men and women.
02:07Got it, papa.
02:09The youngest family member is neuter gender.
02:13All non-living things like pen, pencil, table, chair, etc.
02:21are examples of neuter gender.
02:24Wow, papa.
02:26It's really great.
02:28Now we will be able to answer all the questions asked by our teacher tomorrow.
02:34Good.
02:35Now we all can help your mother in her work.
