Without interference
If... then...
Partner responded 2M, 3M, 2NT, or 3NT These responses all show support for your major. See Subsequent bidding after major suit agreement
Partner responded 4M Pass. The 4M response is preemptive and shows 5+ card support with very little strength. This is an instance of the "slow shows, fast denies" principle—if partner actually had a game-forcing hand, they would have made a different response in order to leave room for investigating the possibility of slam.
Partner made a double jump shift This is a splinter. Alert the bid, then see Responding to a splinter.
Partner responded 1♠ to my 1♥ See Opener's rebids following 1/1.
Partner responded 2 of a lower suit and is an unpassed hand See Opener's rebids following 2/1.
