Can I say persuade him or her to do something?
Is it correct? Thanks in advance. |

Hello! There are two possible ways: -persuade someone into doing something --and -persuade someone to do something. The 1st variant is more common. Yours, |

From the American point of view:
Yes you can persuade someone to do something.
I wouldn�t say persuade someone into doing something. Rather, I�d talk someone into doing something.

In South Africa we would agree with dutchboy and alien boy. |
