#1: What do you want for dinner tonight?
#2: I’m not sure. What do you want?
#1: It’s up to you. Whatever you want, we
will have.

When you say, “it’s up to you,” it’s another way
to say that you want the other person to
choose.
That might be because you can’t decide, or
you are being nice and letting someone else
choose.
And that’s English in a Minute!
