Love someone only with hands

[Ali1002]

Hello there, I have two questions and I'd appreciate you if you'd answer!

1- What does it mean? 'Look at this man, he loves her only with hands.'

2- The following sentence isn't correct grammatically and have two defects in its construction, so, would you mind writing the correct form of it? This question is one of the General English questions in the master's degree.

'They help to pinpoint and correct behavioral difficulties and, therefore, they shape driver have a safe relationship with driving at all times.'

I think one of the defects is here, "they shape driver have a..." and it would be "they shape driver to have a...". Am I right?

1. On its own, it doesn't mean much although it's grammatically correct. Perhaps it means that he is touching her as if he loves her but there is no sign of that love in his eyes or on his face.

2. "They shape driver have a" is definitely wrong but your suggested change doesn't make it any better. My best guess is that it should say "... and, therefore, they ensure [that] drivers have a safe relationship ..."

I don't know what the author of sentence 1 intended. A native English speaker would have written with his hands, which would suggest that "he" only interacts with "her" physically.

Sentence 2 is too poorly written to guess what defects the test-writer expects you to find.

And even so, it makes little sense, even if we are, and this is unlikely in a test, talking about manual stimulation.

That doesn't make sense. You can't ask the meaning of something that doesn't make sense. It looks like it should be two sentences, anyway.

OFF TOPIC. Thanks for fixing the link in my last post, ems. I just couldn't get it to work. What did I do wrong?

Well, I can't really say what you did wrong because I don't know what you did! But I just highlighted the link, copied it, clicked the hyperlink button, pasted the text in there, hit OK, and saved. I didn't do anything differently from how I normally create hyperlinks! Maybe it was just having a glitch when you tried.

If you'd told us in post #1 that they were song lyrics (or the words of a poem), it would have been easier to answer. Poems and songs don't always follow the standard rules of grammar.

Regarding the song lyric:

First, he says only by hands, not only with hands.
Second, the singer is non-native, which suggests the writer was also non-native. It's poor and incorrect English.

Sorry, You're right!

See the third line, he says "with hands"

Songs are full of sloppy English- the requirements of tunes often make native speakers use non-standard grammar, but Fismoll is not a native speaker, and so you cannot expect him to be perfect in every way grammatically. If you like his songs, enjoy them, but don't try to dissect the finer points of English usage.
