Hi deaf
Examples:
The
teenager is convinced she can win.
The boy was persuaded to run the 10-yard dash.
"Convinced" is for changing mental beliefs or understanding.
Persuasion is change of belief followed by action.
Be convinced that these ideas are true and persuade your fellow writers, thinkers, and speakers of their correctness:
"persuade" usually implies a process of presenting reasons, arguments, evidence, etc.

You are welcome deaf I found this explanation on wikipedia which seems good to me
Possessive adjectives, also known as possessive determiners,are a part of speech that modifies a noun by attributing possession (or other sense of belonging) to someone or something. In English, the words my, your and her are examples.
Possessive adjectives/determiners can eliminate repetition in a sentence by replacing a determiner phrase (or in other analyses, a noun phrase). They allow us, for example, to say the girl took off her glasses instead of the girl took off the girl's glasses.
Comparison with determiners and adjectives
Possessive determiners/adjectives have features of both determiners and adjectives:

Possessive determiners/adjectives have features of both determiners and adjectives:
- Possessive determiners always imply the article the. For example, my car always means the car that belongs to me or the car that I am regularly using. Therefore, possessive determiners function as determiners and as such are not used with most other determiners including articles such as the or demonstratives such as that, which are usually required in English and some other European languages before a noun whose identity is known to the listener. For example, My hat is blue is grammatically correct, but The my hat is blue is not.
- Like other adjectives, possessive adjectives may be modified with an adverb, though this is uncommon. The adverbs more, less, or as much ... as (comparative) or mostly (superlative) sometimes appear, for example in : This is more my team than your team, This is less my team than your team, This is as much my team as your team, and This is mostly my team.
