💡 Grammar Points
Matching the word ending
Because this word ends in -a, you only use it to describe 'feminine' things like 'una tienda' or 'la ropa'. If you are describing a 'masculine' thing, you must use 'exclusivo'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Matching gender
Mistake: "Un club exclusiva."
Correction: Un club exclusivo. Since 'club' is masculine, the descriptor must also end in -o.
