​Note:
〜ています (...teimasu) form is the progressive tense of a verb which shows that something is currently happening or ongoing. It's similar to the suffix "~ing" in English, e.g., "studying," "eating," and "sleeping."
じゅんびができましたか？(Jyunbi ga dekimashita ka?) : Are you ready?
もう (mou) : already; anymore
じかん (jikan) : time
まだ (mada) : not yet

​

When Do We Use 〜ています form?

The ~ています (...teimasu) form has two main meanings: :

1). Ongoing actions: Something happening right now.
2). Repeated habits: Something you do regularly or often.

Look the examples below:

Got ready!

バスがもうすぐきますよ
Basu ga mou sugu kimasu yo
The bus will get here soon.

はい、できました。
Hai, dekimashita.
Yes, I'm ready

​The word mou sugu in the expression “Mou sugu desu. (もうすぐです。)” you learned earlier in the lesson is used to describe something that will happen soon. 

For example:
あさごはんがもうすぐできます。
Asagohan ga mou sugu dekimasu. 
“Breakfast will be ready soon.”

​Note:
Ending particle よ yo: used to convey new information, add emphasis to a statement, or alert the listener to something they might not know, essentially acting like a way to say "you know" or "listen up" when translating to English
