向,和,同,对 or 给 in this sentence? 工人...经理表达感恩。 I think it should be 向. But are 和,同,对 and 给 options too? And are 向 and 对 always interchangeable? If not, in which sentences they can be interchangeable?

向 and 对 mean the same thing in this sentence.And I can't come up with any situation in which they aren't interchangeable.So I guess they are.(love to know if I am wrong about this). 向 and 对 mean TO. 和 and 同 mean AND。 But I don't think 给 would be the proper answer. Pls point out any mistake I made or discuss any question with me. Hope my answer will help you.

except 和、同、给,others can.(最符合语法) 向,对:to, 向前:to a direction of your facing. 向后:to a deirection of your backing on 和、同、给: when you express to talk with sb, it's ok. chinese like this: 我同你说,我和你说,我同你讲,我和你讲, 我给你说(个事),你给我说(清楚) 【Chinglish:i give you talk a thing. you give me talk clearly. how to understand 给 in here? try to imagine a situation:you pull his a corner of a garment, and you talk sth with him . do you see? when you pull his garment, he just like give himself to you. 你给我说(清楚)is the same as the imagination: you pull his garment or arms, because you do not allow him to leave. you are angry,so you pull .... when you pull , he just like give himeself to you.】, = 我对你说(chinglish: i face you said.what i face? i face you , and what i face you to do?i face you said 对 is 面对的简化形式,省略了面(face),因此意思更像 like to(我可以是侧对着他说,等等) ,面对更强调face to face) 你给我过来(给in here:you take yourself to face me!= you come here immediately!(imagine: he is far away from you, you can't catch him)) 工人和/同经理表达感恩 : it is not very accurate in here. two sorts of translation below. the worker and the management , express gratitude.sould like no subject.(*) but, the worker express gratitude with the management.(√) so, native speaker can understand. 工人给经理表达感恩, 错误! 这里想表达的意思是:工人表达感恩,对经理。 accoding to i said above 工人给经理表达 subject变成了经理。 你给我过来,subject is me。because,i pull your garment to say。 而且,很少这样说,no i pull your garment and express......

向 and 对 is NOT always interchangeable. 比如,“向”还可以表示“朝”某个方向,“对”不可以。eg. 我向他走去/ 他以最快的速度跑向终点
