What is the difference between convincing sb and persuading sb?

Answer 1

When you convince somebody, you make them see your point of view and think like you do about a particular issue.

However, when you persuade somebody, you actually pay less importance to making them see you point of view. Instead, you focus on them just doing what you want them to.

Answer 2

When you convince someone, you usually want them to think what you think. When you persuade someone, it's usually because you want something from them.

Answer 3
