Can one use:
1-The salad is yours to make.
instead of:
It is up to you to make the salad.
Can one use:
2-The kitchen is yours to clean.
instead of:
It is up to you to clean the kitchen.
The problem with '1' is that the salad does not even yet exist. I am not sure that '1' works at all.
I think '2' might be used, although I am not sure this is a good way to express the idea of obligation.
Gratefully,
Navi.
