Do with oneself
Hello!
Please, can you tell me how can I use the expression above (do with oneself) in an affirmative sentence?
(Ex. in an interrogative sentence: Bob, what are you planning on doing with yourself on your next vacation ?)
Ex. (in an affirmative sentence) - I don't have idea. Please, help me!
And in this expression can we change the verb to do for others verbs, or we have to use this expression - always- with the verb to do?
Thanks,
Lian

The nearest to a positive sentence I can come up with is "I don't know what to do with myself, he doesn't know what to do with himself" etc... but of coures, since they are examples of reported speech, they're not positive/affirmative sentences! I don't think you'll ever find that expression in an affirmative sentence, since it's used to ask what you are doing, so the (positive) answer will use the verb that describes your occupation.
