✦Grammar Breakdown
Entrenounahora.
Entreno (verb)
‘Entreno’ is the first‑person singular present indicative of the verb *entrenar* (to train, to work out).
una (indefinite article)
‘una’ is the feminine singular indefinite article, used here because *hora* is a feminine noun.
hora (noun)
*hora* means ‘hour’; it functions as a measure of time in this sentence.
Zero‑preposition construction
In Spanish, duration can be expressed without a preposition: *entreno una hora* = ‘I train for an hour.’ Adding *por* is possible but less common.

How long do you train each day?

✕Common Mistakes
Entreno por una hora.
Adding *por* is redundant in this construction; the sentence works perfectly without it.
Entreno una horas.
The noun *hora* is singular; the article must match.
Entreno una hora de.
The preposition *de* is unnecessary here; it changes the meaning.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries *entrenar* is used for sports or gym workouts, while *hacer ejercicio* is a more neutral way to talk about any kind of physical activity. Remember that the article must agree with the noun gender: *una hora*, not *un hora*.
