I need an urgent help? The President will address both houses of Congress. We will not give way to those who believe that power grows out of the barrel of a gun. The government are unlikely to get their way on this issue Would you reword these three sentences exactly the three words "Give way‚ address and Get way" I don't need the definition I need a synonym or equivalent. Also what is the difference between 'Give way and Get way?'

I . Address is definitely the best word here. I am not sure why you would want to replace it with a synonym. However, possible alternatives are 'speak to', 'give a speech to' - but neither of these has quite the same meaning - address really is the only 'right' word for here. 2. Give way - yield, surrender, bow 3. The government IS (not are) unlikely to prevail. to give way means to yield to someone else - to step back (literally or figuratively) and allow them precedence. To get your (their) way means to achieve the outcome you are seeking - the child finally got her way when her mother let her stay up and watch television.
