    Smile leave+sb.+to select or selecting

    1. Leave the guest of honor to select the music.
    2. Leave the guest of honor selecting the music.

    Which one is correct and idiomatic? Thanks.

    Default Re: leave+sb.+to select or selecting

    If you mean that guest should select the music, then use the first.
