Explanation
Fighting means taking part in a physical or emotional struggle. It can describe people, animals, or even ideas in conflict. For example, “The boys were fighting over money.” It can also mean working hard to solve a problem or win against something difficult, like “fighting against sickness.” The word can show action (verb form) or describe something happening (noun or adjective form). Fighting is used in stories, sports, and real life to show effort or struggle. It reminds us that sometimes fighting means bravery, not just anger.
