A Simple Set of Rules

gender = m f;
number = (ND sg) sg pl ND;
definite = def ind;
tense = past pres ifi;
person = (PD p3) p1 p2 p3 PD;

tense > tense : past ifi;

n: _.gender.number;
det: _.definite.gender.number;
pr: _;
vblex: _.tense.person.number;
adv: _;

NP: _.gender.number;
DP: _.gender.number;
PP: _;
VP: _.tense.person.number;

NP -> %n { 1 } |
      10: %n PP { 1 _1 2 } ;

PP -> pr DP { 1 _1 2 } ;

DP -> det %NP { 1(gender=2.gender, number=2.number) _1 2 } ;

VP -> %vblex DP { 1(tense=$tense, person=$person, number=$number) _1 2 } |
      adv %VP (if (1.lem/sl = there)

Rule 1 (NP -> n) could apply, but it's possible that reading more of the input would make it so rule 2 (NP -> n PP) could apply, so we do both.
Apply rule 1 (NP -> n) in the first branch
  1. ^In<pr>/En<pr>$
  2. ^a<det><ind><sg>/uno<det><ind><GD><sg>$
  3. ^unknown<NP><m><sg>{^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$}$

  3. ^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$
Since the rule says %n, the required NP tags (gender and number) are filled in with the values of the noun tags.
Apply rule 4 (DP -> det NP) in the first branch
  1. ^In<pr>/En<pr>$
  2. ^unknown<DP><m><sg>{^a<det><ind><sg>/uno<det><ind><GD><sg>$ ^unknown<NP><m><sg>{^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$}$}$

  2. ^a<det><ind><sg>/uno<det><ind><GD><sg>$
  3. ^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$
Note that the determiner still has GD as it's gender. Child tags are not modified until the output step.

  1. ^unknown<PP>{^In<pr>/En<pr>$ ^unknown<DP><m><sg>{^a<det><ind><sg>/uno<det><ind><GD><sg>$ ^unknown<NP><m><sg>{^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$}$}$}$

This time the next word is an adverb, rather than a preposition, so no splitting occurs and the rule is applied in each branch.
Apply rule 4 (DP -> det NP) in both branches
  1. ^unknown<PP>{^In<pr>/En<pr>$ ^unknown<DP><m><sg>{^a<det><ind><sg>/uno<det><ind><GD><sg>$ ^unknown<NP><m><sg>{^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$}$}$}$

Apply rule 2 (NP -> n PP) in the second branch
  1. ^unknown<PP>{^In<pr>/En<pr>$ ^unknown<DP><m><sg>{^a<det><ind><sg>/uno<det><ind><GD><sg>$ ^unknown<NP><m><sg>{^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$}$}$}$

Note that rule 2 has a weight attached to it, so now the second branch is weighted.

VP wants tense, person, and number tags. The verb supplies tense, but it doesn't have person or number tags, so the defaults are used instead.

No rules begin with VP, so it's time to output. Both rules have the same number of trees (1), but the second one has higher weight (10), so the first one gets discarded and we output the second one.
