Convice And Persuade

Convince is a verb. To convince is to cause someone to believe something is true or that your idea is good one.Convince comes from a Latin word meaning "conquer, overcome." If you convince someone to believe something, you conquer their beliefs. When we use convince in this way, we usually say:

Examples:

• He convinced his mother that he was telling the truth.

• I convinced the police that I was innocent.

• I listened to her argument, but I was not convinced that she understood the problem.

• I couldn't convince myself that I was doing the right thing.

• Did you convince him that you need the job?

• I was convinced that she loved me and would marry me!

Persuade is also a verb. To persuade is to talk someone into doing something (to make them do something by giving reasons for doing it). Persuade comes from a Latin word that means "advise, make appealing." When you persuade someone to do something, you make that action sound appealing or good. You persuade someone to take an action. After persuade, we use to + infinitive. Examples:

• I persuaded Tom to drive me to work this week.

• Did you persuade her to buy the new car?

• My son persuaded me to buy him ice cream.

• Sally persuaded me to take the job.

• I persuaded her to hire me for the job.
