Hello Dream, it depends on if 'beat' is a verb, a noun or an adjective. You can find out all these different meanings from http://www.ldoceonline.com/. For example, 'beat' can mean hit or mix or to solve a problem, for example, how do you 'beat' traffic jams? Or it 'beats' me how he comes up with all those clever ideas! 'Beats' meaning it puzzles me or surprises me. Check out the link and all the best :)

It can mean "violently hit multiple times" OR "win". "She divorced him because he beat her." "She divorced him because he beat her at chess."
