- Pronouns for animals: In English, if the gender of a pet is known, it is common to use he/she instead of it. Since the text refers to the dog as "her," the feminine pronoun is used throughout.
- Articles: "A doctor" and "a hunter" require the indefinite article a because they refer to professions.
- Possessives: "Your friend's son" and "Sam's dog" use the 's construction to show ownership.
