To be fair, that is a thing with English in general. Nouns sound and read as genderless entities almost every time, whereas most other languages at least have an implication of a gender somewhere.

In this example, "soap" also has a gender in Spanish, with the word for it being "jabón", and if you were to say "the soap", you say "el jabón", and "el" is the singular male form of "the", making the word masculine, as put here. Yes, Spanish needs to assign quantity and gender to the word "the" (a lot of you probably already know this from Spanish classes you had), so the word ends up having 4 different spellings for singular, plural, male and female combinations.

This is largely why English is regarded as one of the easiest, if not the easiest language to learn. Simple words with simple conjugations make up for needing less of both as well (like 6 conjugations in English compared to over 20 in Spanish), and that is honestly great, since it is also a great advantage to know English these days.

…with that said, your long-ass list of irregular verbs that have their own weird rules can go suck a lemon tree dry.
