Hello,
I am not able to understand the meaning of 'concessive ' in the 'concessive clause'.
I know that we generally use 'though', 'whereas' e.t.c for a concessive clause.
I have looked up the word in many dictionaries but unable to retrieve the meaning in this context.
Does it mean 'contrast'?
Thanks.
concessive

Re: concessive
Basically, yes.
