In Swedish grammar, there are two main grammatical genders: common gender (en) and neuter (ett). The gender of a noun can affect the way it is inflected, as well as the forms of the adjectives and pronouns that modify it. Understanding the gender of a noun is an essential aspect of mastering Swedish grammar, as it will help in constructing accurate and natural-sounding sentences.
