He deserves it

Grammar usage guide and real-world examples

You can use alternatives such as "he has earned it", "it's well-earned for him", or "he has merited it" depending on the specific context.

While "he deserves it" is acceptable in many contexts, consider using more formal alternatives like "he has merited it" or "it is his just reward" for professional or academic writing.

Saying "he deserves it" expresses the belief that someone has earned or is worthy of something good, such as praise, recognition, or a reward, often due to their hard work, talent, or positive actions.

Avoid using "he deserves it" sarcastically or in situations where the person's actions are clearly undeserving or unethical. Using the phrase in such contexts can be perceived as insensitive or dismissive.
