Learn English Vocabulary: 28 WORDS FOR CONVINCING PEOPLE

Get a richer vocabulary by learning these 28 words and using them in your speech and writing. We say something is persuasive when it is convincing. In English, there are many words that can be used for persuasion – to convince someone or to change their mind. In this lesson, we will look at some of these words. I will teach you words like convenient, effective, guaranteed, miracle, profitable, proven, superior, urge, recommend, and more. This vocabulary will be useful to you if you need to explain to someone why they should sponsor your business idea, sell a product to a tough buyer, or you might simply need to convince your parents to allow you to go out late.
