I('ll) give you that
I concede that what you just said is true or likely. A: "I don't understand why you're so upset—I told you I'd be late." B: "OK, I'll give you that, but 3 AM isn't just a little bit late, and you woke up the whole house coming in the door." The tax breaks for business might spur the economy a bit, I give you that, but it means our budget for public works will be a lot smaller next year. Yes, you're right, I made a mistake—I'll give you that. But it's not like I don't regret it.
