1) Yes, fight can be used for a verbal argument. This is usually a very intense form of arguing. It can also be said "Stacy and her boyfriend had a fight." which means that they argued, they did not have an actual physical fight. 2) 'Quarrel' is indeed an older word, but it is stilled used today. It might be good to think of quarrel as an argument, but one that leads to either a temporary or permanent break in a friendship. Quarrel can also be used to mean dispute, complaint or hostile feelings. (ie... She has no quarrel with her current salary.) I hope this helps answer your questions. ~Samantha :)

Hi :) 1. the proper definition of "fight" would be a "physical struggle"; however, it can be used in a sentence to mean just "struggle" in general. ex: We got into a fight last night over who would wash the dishes. (in this context it was an oral fight/fight with words and not a physical one where you hit someone.) 2. Yes quarrel is an old expression and is rarely used. Using fight/argue would be more appropriate. hope that helps ^___^. If not and example would help me to better define everything for you :)
