English Language Learners Asked by Den Allan on October 1, 2021
Could someone give me some situation examples that I can make sense out of the difference between them.
Thanks for your help.
It's not a case of different usages being appropriate to different situations, it's just different ways of thinking about the thumbs-up.
Using a treats the sign as an ordinary gesture, in the same way that we say She gave him a wave/a smile.
Using the treats it as a gesture with specific meaning ('all is well' or 'I'm OK with that'), as in the Masonic handshake, the Nazi salute.
