Leave to me or for me

Hello everyone,

When eg"George" is talking with "Garry" about a case, but "Sally" interferes in the talk to speak with "Garry", George doesn't want Sally's interference. Here, imagine that George is me. Can I say to Sally the following?

1. Don't interfere, leave it to me.

2. Don't interfere, leave it for me.

Are both "leave it to " and "leave it for" possible in the above sentences?

Regards,

JA

  • Joseph A 1.
  • Don't interfere, leave it to me.
  • Use this one.
  • Strictly speaking you have written it as a comma splice, but it is a fairly benign one.
