Make a strong, determined effort

To work very hard and carefully to reach a goal or get something you want.

वापर नमुना: to strive to [do something] / strive for [something]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners often confuse the patterns "strive for" and "strive to". Use "strive for" before a noun ("strive for success") and "strive to" before a verb ("strive to succeed"). Another mistake is using it in very casual speech where "try hard" or just "try" sounds more natural.
