Ateg'ers: The three words "crash", "smash" and "strike" make me confused. In a sentence like this "The bed crashed into the courtyard" , here "crashed" can be replaced with "struck". I think it also can be replaced with "smashed on", and also can be replace with "knocked at". Is it right? Another sentence-"It was smashed to piece", here "smashed" can be replaced with "destroyed". But I think it can also be replaced with "damaged" or "struck" or "cracked". Is it right? I expect to right answers. Thanks! Sincerely Dawei Ren [log in to unmask]
