I want to know the difference between "Don't fight me." and "Don't fight with me.".

Best Answer

The sentence "Don't fight me" suggests a physical fight and the sentence Don't fight with me suggests a non-physical fight such as an argument, I would usually say Don't argue with me to make it more explicit although Don't fight with me is also a valid phrase.
