Mister MicawberI am making the complaint over her involvement in the gas racket.
I struck him over his head, he fell down and I had to take him to the hospital to cure him.
I don't understand about these two sentences...I don't get it on why 'over' could be used in the above two sentences. Can explain? Thanks.
