Catalysis of the formation of aminoacyl-tRNA from ATP, amino acid, and tRNA with the release of pyrophosphate and AMP. Catalysis of the ligation of two substances via a carbon-oxygen bond with concomitant breakage of a diphosphate linkage, usually in a nucleoside triphosphate, to form aminoacyl-tRNA or a related compound. Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + glycine + tRNA(Gly) = AMP + diphosphate + glycyl-tRNA(Gly).
