On ne considère pas un
bâteau comme un simple objet…
L’anglais ne différencie pas le
masculin du féminin, sauf pour les
personnes (pronoms personnels he
et she) et pour les objets (pronom
personnel it). Il y a de rares
exceptions, par exemple pour les
navires :
The Titanic was a famous ship. She
hit an iceberg.
