What does compensate for mean?
is this sentence correct?
- English (UK)
- English (US)
Basically, 'compensate for' means to give something of value (usually money) to someone in order to make up for something that was lost or damaged.
Also, that sentence seems fine, but I think if you moved the 'her' to after compensate, so it's 'She made him compensate her for leaving.' would be more grammatically correct.
Hope this helped :)
