give up vs give in

Give up and give in are similar expressions with different meanings. They can sometimes be confusing.
To give up means to stop trying to do something because you are not having success doing it:

I still haven’t found a job, but I’m not giving up yet.
We spent all day looking for the dog, but we gave up when it got dark.
Give up is often followed by a verb in its present participle (-ing) form:

When nightfall came, we gave up looking for the lost dog.
I’ve given up trying to reason with you.

Give up can also mean to stop doing something that you have been doing for a period of time.

Her doctor advised her to give up smoking.
He gave up basketball in order to focus on his musical career.


To give in means to stop trying to fight or resist something:

The factory workers have been on strike for weeks, but neither they nor the factory owners show any signs of giving in and trying to work out a compromise.

Arthritis has made it difficult for Walter to keep doing his job, but he won’t give in and retire.

The phrase is often followed by the preposition to:

Kids must try hard to resist giving in to peer pressure.
The authorities refused to give in to the hostage takers’ demands.
