Default Re: What does the pattern mean?

Hi susan,

This is the definition of 'it's true that...' quoted from an online dictionary:

[especially spoken used when you are admitting that something is correct, but saying that something else, often opposite, is also correct]

Do you think the statement above is true? Would you use the pattern when admitting something... and use 'although...' when implying surprise?

Thank you very much for your reply.
