Hand it to (someone) slang informal
If a person "hands it to someone", he/she shows admiration and respect or gives praise to what someone has done.
You should have handed to Jackson. He leaded our team to victory.
Your performance was outstanding. I've got to hand it to you, madam.
Jenny handed to her best friend's eloquent speech in the graduation ceremony.
The verb "hand" should be conjugated according to its tense.
"To hand it to (someone)" - "acknowledge someone's ability or superiority" is slang from 1906, the "it" perhaps meant to suggest a trophy cup, award, etc.
Do you see anything wrong?
If you swallow the bait, you take something that someone offers you, or agree to do something that someone asks you to do without knowing that it is a trick or way of getting something from you.
You can't just do whatever he wants you to do. Don't swallow the bait.
