When you use it
Reach for this when a question asks you to write an essay and you must decide whether it should explain how something is or persuade the reader about a debated issue.
Watch out
An argumentative essay must weigh two or more opposing views and persuade the reader, not only describe one side. A descriptive essay explains what something is, how it is made or how it is done, and does not argue for a position.
