How to use give way in a sentence?

  1. Pablo Iglesias:

    If, in order to have a progressive coalition in Spain, my presence in the government is a problem for the Socialist party then I am willing to give way and not be part of this government, there are no more excuses.

  2. Innes Willox:

    The current international border setting is virtually no-one-in and no-one-out, this needs to give way to a more sensible position and a much more ambitious border opening goal than the July 2022 target currently adopted by the Federal Government.

  3. Ovid:

  4. Adam Schiff:

    Ultimately though one thing is clear, because we have adduced so much evidence of guilt of this President, so much evidence of serious misconduct, any privilege the President would have would be vitiated by this crime fraud exception. So that will give way, and if it doesn't to quote my colleague Chairman (Jerry) Nadler, it will mean that either Justice Roberts or the Supreme Court itself is not really a conservative justice or court, merely a partisan one. And I have to hope that is not the case for the country's sake.

  5. Andreas Geisel:

    We will not accept that some violence-seeking individuals want to deprive us of May Day as a day of peaceful demonstration, we do not give way to violence.
