| For me is very confusing the words strike, pounded and beat. Can you explain how do you use those words on specific situations. |
All three verbs have several definitions, as you will find in any dictionary. The meaning they have in common is 'to hit'.
To strike (to hit or attack): the tree was struck by lightning.
To pound (to hit hard): he pounded on the door with his fist.
To beat (to hit hard several times): he was beating a drum. |
