  1. Where are you with [something]: When you want to know how much or how far someone has made progress with a task, you can ask them “where are you with ~.” “Where are you with your homework” means, how much progress have you made with your homework. In the conversation, the woman wanted to ask Jack about the progress he has made on the marketing report, so she asked, “Where are you with the marketing report?”
