Why use "resist against something" here when "resist something" is clear enough in meaning? For example: We guard and resist against sins. Another example: He complained and judged against his brother.

Hey Srihari, Resist itself means to 'fight against'. The use of resist with against would be improper. Please restrict to using resist ______ instead of using restrict against Regards

Practice is the best way to get better. Are you worried about your pronunciation, your grammar or the subject you are talking about ? Think about it. Do you want some spoken English classes?
