Questions & Answers about Tutti gli studenti si allenano in piscina.
Why does it say Tutti gli studenti instead of just Tutti studenti?
Could I use ogni to say "Every student works out" instead?
Why is there a si before allenano?
The verb here is allenarsi (to train / to work out), which is a reflexive verb. The si is the reflexive pronoun for "they" (loro). It literally translates to the students training "themselves".
Why is it in piscina and not nella piscina?
For many common locations in Italian, such as a pool (piscina), a bank (banca), or a church (chiesa), you just use the preposition in without combining it with "the". You would only use nella (in + la) if you were talking about a very specific pool, like "in the new pool".
