Rules for changing masculine nouns into feminine

English nouns change from masculine to feminine using three main patterns:

• By adding a suffix such as -ess to the masculine word (for example, lion becomes lioness and prince becomes princess).
• By using an entirely different word for the feminine form (for example, king becomes queen and boy becomes girl).
• By changing a word before or after in a compound noun (for example, grandfather becomes grandmother and landlord becomes landlady).
