Extrait de l'aide pédagogique pour "Expressing readiness" :
It is often necessary to say that one
is ready to take certain
action or begin
something. This is
particularly the case in a professional context, where one may have to take decisions or express the idea of moving to the next stage of a process. In English there are a variety of different
ways to express these ideas. Here are some examples of how one would express readiness:
Indirectly expressing readiness
· ‘(To stay/to be) on top of things’ – Meaning to have things under control and therefore be ready for whatever happens.
We are expecting a lot of extra work this month we really need to stay on top of things.
· ‘To be on it’ – Meaning that one has already started to do something or that one is in a position to do something.
There’s no problem with the budget review, you can tell Mary that I am on it.
