"It would be appropriate if I take up the work rather than he takes up the work."

"It would be appropriate if I took up the work rather than you took up the work."

Please correct the above sentences and give any suggestions/explanations.

Thank you.

I'd use something like:

It would be appropriate if I took up the work rather than that you took up the work.

Can you re-write the sentence in a completely different form? Take up the work is needlessly verbose.

It would be appropriate for me rather than you to do the work.

Inserted them now. Thank you.
The full stop should be before the closing quotation mark.
