#1 To give something away
It means to give something for free as a gift or donation.
Examples:
"They give away a free chocolate bar for every $100 you spend in the supermarket."
"Tina gave her old clothes away when she lost weight."
#2 To give oneself or somebody else away
It means to show where somebody is or what they are doing when they are trying to keep this a secret. Or to unintentionally reveal something about yourself that you don't want anyone to know. In short, to give somebody away means to betray them.
Examples:
“Mia smiled, but her voice gave her away."
"Tom gave away classified information to the competition."
#3 To give in
It means to accept that you are defeated, to surrender. Or, in some cases, to give in means to finally agree to what someone wants after refusing for some time.
Examples:
"After being surrounded, the enemy gave in."
"My son insisted so much that I buy a cell phone, I finally gave in."
#4 To give out
We use this phrasal verb to say that something stops working correctly or becomes weak.
Examples:
"After running for 30 minutes, my legs finally gave out."
"The students wouldn't listen, so his patience finally gave out."
