inanimate objects
Hello, teachers! What inanimate objects which are called 'she' or 'he' (not 'it!) in the sentance do you know? Exept 'a sheap'? F.E. 'She (a sheap) was small.'
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hi, A ship, not a sheap. A ship is also referred to as 'it'. Images of people, eg statues, paintings, are sometimes spoken of as 'she' or 'he'.

A sheep is not called 'she' unless her *** is known: a male sheep is a ram and a female sheep is a ewe. Nor is a sheep an inanimate object; it is a living being. Animals of known *** are often referred to as 'he' or 'she'.
Ships (by sailors) and our favorite personal objects, especially vehicles, are often called 'she'. Offhand, those are the only cases that come to mind.
