Could you tell me how to use the phrase "see to it that"? I read some sentences that have it. It seems this phrase equals "make sure". So, it this sentence correct: You see to it that you lock the door when you leave home.

Question

Answer

Some people might find "See to it" a bit strong (rude).

Maybe it would be safer to say something like "Would you please make sure the door is locked before leaving (the house)?"

Answer

Perfect!! Or “I will see to it that I do the dishes before I go to bed” or “I’ll see to it that you have an amazing birthday!”

Answer

It's best you take out 'You' from the sentence and start with the phrase itself, for example

"See to it that you lock the door before leaving the house."

Answer

Yes it means to make sure.
