The phrase “it’s up to you” is used when we want to say that the decision or choice is someone’s responsibility. It’s like saying “You make the decision” or “The choice is yours.”
Here are two examples in sentences:
Example 1:
Mom told me I could choose the color of my new bike, saying “it’s up to you.”
Example 2:
“What should we eat for dinner?” “I don’t mind, it’s up to you.”
Here are two examples in conversation:
Example 3:
Jake: Do you think we should go to the beach or the museum this weekend?
Lily: Either is fine with me, Jake. It’s up to you.
Example 4:
Carlos: Which movie should we see tonight?
Maria: I’m not sure, Carlos. You pick this time, it’s up to you.
When someone says “it’s up to you,” they’re expressing that they are giving you the freedom and responsibility to make a decision about something. It can be used in many contexts where a decision needs to be made.
