# --explanation--

`It does, but...` shows agreement with the previous statement while introducing a concern or condition. It's often used when someone accepts an idea but wants to adjust something or add a small request. For example:

- **Mike:** `Does the plan make sense to you?` - This person is asking if another person agrees with a plan they came up with. 

- **Abbie:** `It does, but I think we need more time.` - This means the person agrees overall but suggests a change.
