force or oblige someone to act

To make someone do something, because they have no real choice, often due to rules, law, or strong pressure.

استعمال کا انداز: to compel [someone] to [do something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"compel someone do something"* without "to". The correct pattern is "compel someone **to** do something." Another mistake is using "compel" when there is only gentle suggestion; in those cases, "encourage" or "persuade" is more natural.

متضاد الفاظ
allow (Suggests giving someone freedom instead of forcing them.) | permit (Emphasizes letting something happen rather than making it happen.)

فعل C1 action
2

strongly drive or move someone to act

To make someone feel that they must do something, because of their feelings, duty, or beliefs.

استعمال کا انداز: to feel compelled to [do something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "compel" here when they only mean "want" or "would like." "Compel" implies a strong feeling of having no real choice, often from duty, guilt, or strong emotion. Also, this sense is usually used in passive structures like "feel compelled to" or "be compelled to," not as "compel myself to" in active voice.
ہم معنی الفاظ
feel obliged (Emphasizes a sense of duty or social expectation, sometimes milder than "compelled".) | feel driven (Highlights strong internal motivation, not always moral pressure.) | feel forced (More blunt and negative; may suggest less personal choice than "compelled".)
متضاد الفاظ
feel free (Suggests having no inner pressure or duty to act.)

فعل formal C2 action
3

demand attention or reaction

To make people give attention, interest, or respect because something is very strong or impressive.

استعمال کا انداز: to compel [attention / interest / respect]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse this with simply "get attention." "Compel attention" is stronger and more formal, suggesting that people almost cannot avoid paying attention. It is usually used with abstract nouns like "attention," "respect," or "interest," not with concrete objects.
ہم معنی الفاظ
command (As in "command attention" or "command respect"; very close, slightly more common in everyday use.) | demand (More direct and strong; can sound harsher and less elegant than "compel.") | attract (Gentler and more neutral; does not always suggest the same strong, irresistible pull.)
متضاد الفاظ
fail to attract (Describes the absence of the strong pull or demand for attention that "compel" suggests.)
