Dear teachers,
Please read:
I hate it when he is lazy.
What does “it” refer to?
This structure is strange for me. Do you know the rule?
Thanks

This is just an introductory-it in the middle of a sentence. It serves the same purpose: to postpone another sentence element (here, when he is lazy) to a position of greater emphasis.
