Ready can describe a prepared person, meal or object.
The idea
Use ready for before a noun such as class: ready for class. Use ready to before a base verb: ready to leave. A meal can be ready when it is prepared.
Examples
- Are you ready?
- I am ready to leave.
- She is ready for class.
- Dinner is ready.
- We are not ready yet.
- The bag is ready for collection.

Watch out
Do not use ready for leave: the action leave needs to. Use not ready yet when preparation is incomplete.
