Good afternoon everyone!

I have an English word that is spelt

and pronounced the same but has multiple meanings for you today! The word is “beat” here are a few seen below!

Meaning #1: to strike someone or something repeatedly and violently

Meaning #2: defeat (someone) in a game, challenge, etc

Meaning #3: to be completely exhausted physically or mentally

Try out one of the meanings above in the comments section . And as always please throw a like or comment below if you found this helpful or interesting!

    @Mar hey Mar! The usage was right! I would make a slight adjustment to the sentence to make it sound more natural. “Mary was so beat after her long day at work”

    @ MariamG hey Mariam! “Beat is used for both future and past tense so it should read “we beat the other team, so we are celebrating now”

    @Ben Thank you! The first and second meaning I knew already. Could you build a sentence with the third meaning, please?
