Re: LEAN You can lean over sideways or lean over backwards, not just lean over forwards.
If you ask me the difference between lean forward and lean over forwards -- now THAT I can't answer. Maybe when you "lean over" you bend more than when you simply "lean."
Others?I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

You can lean over the desk or headlines.
We lean over the balcony.
A lot of people sit quite close to each other and lean over.

Re: LEAN No.
In my first post I said you can lean in other directions than forward.I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
