I asked him not to cup the glass vs i asked him not to drop the glass

Both phrases are correct, but they convey different actions. 'I asked him not to cup the glass' implies that the person was requested not to hold the glass in a certain way, possibly with their hand forming a cup shape around it. On the other hand, 'I asked him not to drop the glass' suggests that the person was asked not to let the glass fall or release it from their grip.
