My question is: is there any differences between these two phrasal verbs and their uses? For example in sentences like these:
a) My father didn't want to let me out, but finally I wore him down and I went out with some friends.
b) My father didn't want to let me out, but finally I talked him into it and I went out with some friends.
c) She talked me into going to the cinema although I didn't like that film very much,
d) She wore me down about (Is this preposition correct? Or is it better to use the infinitive?) going to the cinema although I didn't like that film very much.
Do they both mean to persuade, to convince someone? and are they used with they same meaning?
Is "to talk someone out of" the opposite of both the two phrasal verbs I'm talking about in this thread?
I thank you all for your explanations.
