If you say ' cauta X-ul cu Google (is masculine) and cauta cartea cu Google (cartea - book - is feminine). Ok office was also masculine so I couldn't use it here.</p> In Romanian is different, you don't merely replace X with office, for example, as the gender is different.

In this example, it's easy fixed by making X be 'article noun', but I wonder if there are languages where the gender, number, or whatever of the noun-phrase affects the conjugation of the verb, which would make a simple replacement harder.
