What someone is doing with their hands and what they are looking at are also forms of nonverbal communication.
Andrew and Kevin were reading in the park, when Kevin suddenly said, “Check that out!” Andrew didn’t know what Kevin was talking about, so he said, “Check what out?” and Kevin said, “That! Over there!” Andrew saw that Kevin was pointing to - and looking at - a rusted, abandoned truck hidden in the trees!
Even though Kevin’s words were not specific, Andrew was able to figure out what Kevin wanted him to see by using important information from Kevin’s nonverbal communication (pointing and looking at something specific, in this example).
