The modal verb mögen
Mögen is also a way to express concession. In this function, it is mainly used in the indicative.
Its presence in a concessive clause is not necessary in order for concession to be expressed, however, it is used for reasons of emphasis. Further emphasis is given with words like auch, dennoch, trotzdem, wohl.
