Hi MM,

Is it 'round of applause or hand that you would use ?

How would you yourself say it please?

Thank you

Henry Ford received a "round of applause" after his grand debut. This is an example sentence for you to grasp the concept. It is an applause of hands after a great performance or other grand acts.

To give someone a hand means to help someone. For instance, Acl24, would you be so kind to give me a hand in the kitchen? The dishes are dirty and require some cleaning.

Hope this helps you Alc24

Both are fine, Alex. 'Hand' is generally for something spontaneous; 'applause' is expected of an audience.
