You could say \u201cI had a little tiff with my boyfriend last night, but it\u2019s okay now.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Spat<\/em><\/strong>: This is also a small fight, though it may not be used as often since it\u2019s rather old fashioned sounding. You might hear \u201cThe parents had a spat over which restaurant to go to for dinner.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Quarrel<\/em><\/strong>: This is used pretty frequently but is definitely more formal. It\u2019s definitely about a verbal type of argument and you might hear it used frequently. You could say \u201cDon\u2019t quarrel with your mother! She is trying so hard to make you happy.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>For more physical types of arguments<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Scuffle<\/em><\/strong>: You can almost sound the physical nature to this term. This definitely refers to a physical type of fight that happens. You might say \u201cAfter the boys teased each other, they had a scuffle in the cafeteria that had to be broken up. They made up with&nbsp; each other later on that day.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Brawl<\/em><\/strong>: This is bigger and even more physical. This doesn\u2019t end well and people can get hurt. You could hear \u201cThere was a brawl in the center of the mall today.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Why are we working on these words? <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to be able to describe a situation, even if it isn\u2019t a pleasant one. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes repeating words like argument or fight can be boring, and so these words allow you to be more descriptive and colorful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Tips To Avoid Arguments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Though sometimes they are inevitable, sometimes you can avoid arguments.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to do your part to avoid them, then here are a couple of things to keep in mind. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Talk it out<\/em><\/strong>: Sometimes just talking through the issue at hand can make a huge difference. It can make for a great conversation and ensure that you keep things calm.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Be honest<\/em><\/strong>: Don\u2019t lie or try to hide things, but rather just put it all out there. Be honest with the person that you are talking to, and it can avoid a conflict. <\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Think the best about the other person<\/em><\/strong>: This may mean that you give them the benefit of the doubt rather than thinking the worst. Try to think of their point of view too and it may calm you down. <\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Take a deep breath<\/em><\/strong>: Take a moment to breath deeply and clear your head. Just taking that deep breath can help you to reset and avoid the argument that was brewing. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you keep these things in mind, the you can try to stay calm and avoid the argument altogether.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Roleplay To Help<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In this roleplay, Lindsay and Michelle are talking about a dinner that they went to last night.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay: \u201cSo last night was fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michelle: \u201cYeah, but it was so awkward when Tim and Jenny got into that tiff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay: \u201cYeah, it was just a little spat though. No biggie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michelle: \u201cIt did make it awkward. They were quarreling for a few minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay: \u201cThat was nothing compared to the brawl those high school kids got into outside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michelle: \u201cThat was quite a scuffle.
