Questions & Answers about El gimnasio ofrece máquinas modernas y un área de pesas muy completa.
Why is it El gimnasio and not La gimnasio?
In Spanish, gimnasio is a masculine noun, so it always takes the masculine article el rather than la.
Why do we say máquinas modernas and not modernas máquinas?
In Spanish, the adjective typically follows the noun. So, máquinas modernas follows the standard noun-adjective placement, meaning "modern machines."
What does área de pesas refer to, and why is it un área and not una área?
Área de pesas refers to the weightlifting area in a gym. Although área is feminine, it starts with a stressed "a" sound. Spanish grammar rules use the masculine article un (and el) before feminine nouns that begin with a stressed "a" to avoid the repetition of the vowel sounds (like "una área"), making pronunciation smoother.
Why is muy completa used to describe un área de pesas?
Muy completa emphasizes that the weightlifting area is very well-equipped or comprehensive. The adjective completa is in the feminine form to agree with área, which is ultimately a feminine noun despite using un.
Why is ofrece used here instead of another form of the verb ofrecer?
Ofrece is the third-person singular present tense of ofrecer ("to offer"). Since the subject is El gimnasio (third-person singular), we use él/ella/usted ofrece rather than other verb forms like ofrezco (first-person) or ofrecen (third-person plural).
