English grammar has shed most of the case and gender marking its Germanic ancestors had, shifting the workload almost entirely onto word order and a small set of helper ("auxiliary") verbs.
Modern English nouns carry almost no case marking (only pronouns retain a trace, like "he" vs. "him"), and there's no grammatical gender at all for ordinary nouns — a significant simplification compared to Old English, German, or Russian.
Because case marking is largely gone, English relies heavily on subject-verb-object (SVO) word order to show who's doing what to whom — reordering a sentence's words in English usually changes its meaning entirely, unlike more case-marked languages where word order is more flexible.
English forms questions and negatives using the helper verb "do" ("Do you like coffee?" / "I don't like coffee") in situations where many other languages simply reorder the sentence or add a single word — this "do-support" pattern is a genuinely distinctive feature of English grammar.
No — ordinary English nouns carry no grammatical gender at all, a real simplification compared to many other European languages.
Because case marking (which shows a word's grammatical role directly) is largely gone, English relies on a fixed subject-verb-object order instead to show who's doing what to whom.
The pattern of using the helper verb "do" to form questions and negatives ("Do you like coffee?", "I don't like coffee") — a distinctive feature many other languages handle differently, often through simple reordering or a single added word.
