What is the meaning of "(be) in the middle of sth / to be in the middle of doing sth" ? Can I call you back? I'm in the middle of a meeting. I can't do that now. I'm in the middle of cooking dinner.

You use the verb "to be" to indicate the state of the subject. e.g. I am happy. I was angry. She is busy. In this case, the adjective is a phrase "in the middle of cooking dinner"
