is dessus also an idiom?
in the phrase "Attends, nous sommes en train de travailler dessus." I don't understand the use of dessus. Is there another meaning than above or is this another idiom? Thanks

Hi Lana,
We are going to change this question as it has been decided that it is too complicated for an A2 level but an explanation just for you -
In French you use
travailler sur quelque chose ( un projet ) = to work on something ( a project )
So if someone asked:
Tu/vous as/avez travaillé sur ce projet ? = Have you worked on this project?
You might answer
oui, je suis en train de travailler dessus = yes, I am in the process of working on it
Hope that helps!
