Explanation

To “approve” means to agree with something or officially accept it. You approve when you think something is right or good, whether it’s 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 someone’s actions or choices. Without approval, many formal things (like contracts, loans, or projects) can’t move forward.
