Draw vs. Pull
Both 'draw' and 'pull' signify an act of making something move toward yourself or in a particular direction. However, 'draw' implies a gentler act involving less force that 'pull'. This lesson will discuss the difference between these two verbs.
Level of Force
'Pull' generally implies a stronger or more forceful action. It often suggests exerting significant physical effort or strength to bring something closer or in a specific direction. 'Draw' typically suggests a gentler or more delicate action. It implies a lighter or more controlled application of force to guide something towards oneself or in a specific direction. It can involve a smooth or gradual motion with less physical effort.

He pulled the weed out of the ground using a gardening tool.
She drew the curtains to let in some sunlight.
I drew him aside to tell him about the incident.

The two verbs can be interchangeable, but 'pull' always implies a more forceful movement than 'draw'.
