When you want to express that someone is in charge or takes responsibility for something, you can use the 由... 做主 grammar pattern.

Structure

Area of responsibility + 由 + Person(s) + 做主

Examples

  • 我们 家 我 妈妈 做主,她 说 什么 我 和 爸爸 就 做 什么。
  • 作为 商店 经理,所有 的 事情 都 做主,出 了 事情 也 由 你 负责。
  • 极权 主义 政府 通常 是 一 人 或 一 党 做主,而 民主 社会 通常 是 全民 做主
