Explanation
To “approve” means to agree with something or officially accept it. You approve when you think something is right or good, whether itās a plan, decision, behavior, or idea. A person, manager, or organization can approve something by giving it permission. Sometimes, it also means to show positive feelings or support towards someoneās actions or choices. Without approval, many formal things (like contracts, loans, or projects) can’t move forward.
