The word ‘hit’ can mean many different things. As a verb, it involves bringing a body part or object into contact with another person/object or a missile striking a target.
For example:
- Ellen raised her fist and hit Sally across the face. (person/object into contact with another person/object)
- The archer hit the bullseye from 200 meters away. (missile striking a target)
