Definition: (heading, physical) To strike.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “To strike” - is a good starting point, you see, But "hitting" has layers, it’s more than just decree. It can mean to strike with force, a powerful blow, Like when a baseball pitcher throws, watching the ball go! (Think of a fastball zooming, a crack and a sound!) Or maybe you're hitting a nail with a hammer so true, Creating something sturdy, for me and for you. It could be hitting keys on a keyboard with glee, Typing out stories, for all the world to see! Sometimes it’s gentle, a tap light and brief, Like hitting a pillow when feeling some grief. So "hitting" really depends on the context you find, It's about applying force, of every kind! Does that make sense? Do you have any questions to share?
