Chinese has only one word for "third person" (he/she/it) as do many other languages. That may cause some confusion for speakers of those languages when speaking like English.

German speakers notice English speakers haver trouble with Der, Die, Das, A ship is Der, but a boat is Die? What's a wrench?

A ship ( Schiff) is Das.
A boat ( Boot) is Das.
A wrench ( Schraubenschlüssel- the tool) is Der.
