Three Meanings in One
The word 'pelea' can be three different things from the verb 'pelear': 'he/she fights' (él/ella pelea), 'you fight' in a formal way (usted pelea), or a command 'Fight!' (tú pelea). The context tells you which one it is.
Arguing 'with' someone
Mistake: “Pelear con mi amigo.”
Correction: This is correct! Unlike some English verbs, 'pelear' uses 'con' (with) to say who you are fighting or arguing with. For example, 'Ella pelea con su hermano' (She argues with her brother).
