Usage notes

 * Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English: "In everyday English, people usually say hit rather than strike."
 * The simple past is almost always struck, but it is often avoided by using the verb (even more than in other tenses) or other verbs and expressions. This is especially true in the sense of stopped working in protest, about which many native speakers have strong opinions concerning the use or appropriateness of struck or striked. These strong opinions and criticism of different usage by other people are partly due to regional differences but mostly due to the verb actually being essentially defective (not used in all tenses) in this sense, although apparently no dictionary except Wiktionary mentions this. The expressions workers went on strike and workers were on strike are much more common than workers struck and workers striked, which sound odd, dated, or wrong to many native speakers.
 * The past participle is usually struck (e.g. He'd struck it rich, or When the clock had struck twelve, etc.). The form stricken is significantly rarer. However, it is still found in the sense of "to delete, cross out", as in . Moreover, it is used in the passive in the sense of "afflicted", as in . In other contexts it is literary or archaic.
