To "persuade" means to convince someone to do something by arguing or reasoning with them. A persuasive speech is a type of speech in which the speaker tries to convince the audience to believe what they believe. The speaker cannot force his or her opinion on others. However, they can use certain words or express their opinion in such a way that hopefully causes others to accept their point of view.
