On the sentence of "I'm convinced of her telling the truth." :
1 Is the sentence grammatically correct?
2 If it is grammatically correct, which of the two is its meaning, (a) I'm convinced that she told the truth, or (b) I'm convinced that she will tell the truth? |

I am afraid that the way you used the word, convinced, is not conventional.

I am convinced that she is telling the truth.
I think this is the conventional way to say what you want to say. |
