Kevin: I’ll be all set to go in 5 minutes. I have to finish packing my shoes.
Gina: I hope we don’t miss our flight because of your shoes!
Kevin: Ok, I’m all set!
Example 2:
Ok, we have our bottles of water, hiking boots, and sunblock. We are all set to go on our hike!
to be all set to go = to be ready to go
This expression is often shortened “be all set” meaning “to be ready”
It can also be used with other verbs: be all set to + verb.. for example I’m all set to take the test.
