Hi Pravinth, To "give in" means that there are two or more people who disagree on what to do, and one of them finally accepts the other's terms. Example: After a huge fight he gave in and agreed to go on holiday with his mother-in-law. To "give up" means to stop trying to do something: Example: I spent an hour trying to erect the tent.
