¿Esto suena natural? The hero offered his life.
- Inglés (UK)
Poco natural
If a criminal was threatening to kill some hostages and the hero said "take me instead", then offered would be used because the hero is using his life to make a deal with the criminal.
If a hero put himself/herself in danger to rescue someone from a burning building then we wouldn't used "offered". We would say "gave his life" (or "risked his life" if the hero survived)

we would normally say "the hero gave his life for...". However, using the word "offered" could possibly be used, depending on the specific circumstances.
