Make it up to them//made up for forgetting ...
In Vietnam, parents express love and appreciation to their children on Mid-autumn Festival. According to Vietnamese tradition, parents were so busy bringing in the harvest they often neglected their children. So this holiday is a way to make it up to them.
Peter made up for forgetting to call his girlfriend by taking her out to dinner teh next day.
Hi,
The first in the above uses "it" in the bolded part while the second doesn't in the same phrase. I'm really confused. When should I use "it" in the phrase, when not? Thanks.
