"leave you to it so you can rest" and "leave you to rest"
Hi all
I am familiar with the phrase "leave you to it" but I am wondering if I can modify it to say "leave you to rest"?
As in, "You've had a long day. I'll leave you to rest" instead of "You've had a long day. I'll leave you to it so you can rest."
Thank you
PBF
