Persuade someone to believe or act
To make someone believe something is true or agree to do it.
Модел на употреба:
to convince [someone] [that/to do something]
Честа грешка:
Learners sometimes confuse 'convince' with 'persuade'. Use 'convince' with 'that' for beliefs and 'to' for actions, e.g., 'convince him that it is safe' vs. 'convince him to try it'.
Синоними
persuade (Very close in meaning; 'persuade' often focuses more on influencing action, while 'convince' can also focus on belief.)
Антоними
