Note
One spelling does double duty: it is the plain past (she conceded the point) and the participle that follows have, had or be (the point was conceded). In sport the participle is everywhere: a side has conceded a goal, and a bowler has conceded runs. It sits beside the older uses of yielding a right and admitting that something is true.
