“John fought for years and with strenuous effort his wicked tendencies.”

In this sample, “fought” is the main verb. The phrase “his wicked tendencies” is the object of the verb “fought.” You can ask yourself, “He fought what?” The answer, “his wicked tendencies,” is the object.

“John fought his wicked tendencies for years and with strenuous effort.”
