Give up

Thinking SpainIs it correct the explanation?

Joan had to give up her job in 1980, when she had a baby.
Joan had to stop working in 1980, when she had a baby.

One of the meanings of give up can be:
When somebody gives up an activity, thry stop doing it.

Thanks in advance

Yes you are right. These two sentences mean nearly the

Thanks very much LouiseT but I aso found this explanation:



When somebody gives up a job they resign or renounce voluntarily.

You can say either.

"She had to give up her job.............."
" She had to resign from her job......"

I would not use "renounce her job voluntarily".

You can also say "She had to stop working" - this is not wrong, it just does not make it so clear that this was permanent.

Thank you so much LouiseT. Clear and concrete!
