"I'll make X, the desert is all you" [you make/bring the desert] . But this construction might only be heard in the US (not sure I've ever seen it in BrEn) and may be highly regional. | |

| Oct 15, 2021 at 8:39 | comment | added | Kate Bunting | The problem is not with grammar but with idiom. I have never heard the expression used with reference to a duty. We would say "The mess... has been left for you to clean up." | |
