Give/ Give in/ Give way

"After hours of negotiation, one side (gave / gave in/ gave way) and made concessions."

How are "give", "give in", and "give way" different?
  

Top answer

These are all very similar: Give in = to concede, allow the other side to win an argument or debate Give up = to admit defeat, surrender Give way = to break suddenly under pressure, to allow someone to pass by you (give right of way) I would choose "give in" in this sentence. com/give+in
