Dear teachers,

Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

For Lucy had her work cut out for her.

have one's work cut out for one = to have a large and difficult task to do

Thanks for your efforts.

Regards,

V.
