LoginPush vs. Shove
To 'push' something means to make it move forward or away from yourself. To 'shove' something also means to make something move in that direction, but in a rough or aggressive manner. This lesson will discuss this difference further.
Level of Force
'Push' is a more general term that refers to exerting force against an object or person in order to move them away from oneself or to move an object in a particular direction. It can involve a relatively gentle or controlled application of force as well as a more forceful act. 'Shove' is more specific and often implies a forceful and aggressive application of force to move an object or person. It often involves using greater strength or sudden, uncontrolled movements.
