Listen Later

Hi there!

Looking for the perfect phrase to use in any situation? Look no further than "the ball is in your court"!

This expression is all about taking control and putting the responsibility on someone else:) You can use it when you've done your part and now it's up to someone else to make a move.

Here are some examples:

  • I've done my part, now the ball is in your court to make the final presentation.
    • Your boss has asked you to come up with a plan for the project. The ball is in your court now.
      • I've asked her out on a date, but she hasn't responded yet. The ball is in her court.
      • So next time you're in a situation where you've done what you can and it's up to someone else to take the next step, remember to use the classic phrase "the ball is in your court" and let the responsibility fall where it may!
