A firefighter fights fire with a hose.

Is the sentence correct?

Yes.

Alliteration
A firefighter fights fire(s) with a fire hose.

All the best.

Hi Casiopea

What do you mean by "alliteration'?

What does your dictionary say?

I've referred to it. It's not clear. My dictionary is a pocket-size one, so it does not explain clearly.

Thanks again.

All right. Type the word alliteration into your search engine window. I used Google, and here's what she came up with: alliteration - Google Search

All the best.

Thanks.

Alliteration
A firefighter fights fire(s) with a fire hose.

So you are saying that there is alliteration in the sentence, nothing to do with correct English usage.

Thanks again.
