Tease out, give air to
Hi,
1) A friend of mine who is a native English speaker told me this yesterday:
"I had to tease it out of her if she was planning on getting back together with her ex-boyfriend."
Shouldn't it be 'tease out of her if' without 'it'?
2) "If you keep giving air to your doubts, you'll never be happy."
Is there a synonym for 'give air to' you can think of? What about 'entertain doubts'?
Thank you.
