Gender of nouns

Gender of nouns

You say in the notes:

"Sartén" is more often feminine than masculine, but both genders are correct.

But in the most recent exercise I did, when the question was is "ese sartén" correct, given the gender of the noun, and I said no, my answer was marked wrong.

Is there an inconsistency somewhere?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Some Spanish nouns have both genders without a change of meaning"

Hola Barbara

The answer "no" was marked wrong because both genders are correct, so "ese sartén" should not be considered incorrect.

I hope this clears up any confusion!

Saludos
