@Natitan By “look over”, I mean “go over”, “check something for me to make sure I have everything correct”. With that in mind, which sentence would you most likely say?

Can you look into it for me please? or Can you help me look into it?☑️ but your 1st sentence isn't bad 😊...Good job

Yes! the sentence is perfect... "Had to do it over"☑️ "Had to do it over again" both are correct☑️
- Simplified Chinese (China)
@Classic_Climaxx So “look over it”, “go over it”, and “do it over” are correct.
“Look it over”, “go it over” and “do over it” are incorrect, right?
“Look it over”, “go it over” and “do over it” are incorrect, right?
