Phrasal verbs

Are these sentences correct, and do they mean the same:


a) "I working out some issues."


b) "I'm working on some issues."

  

Top answer

The two given sentences are okay and have a similar meaning: the speaker is dealing with some things. However, sentence a) is very awkward-sounding because the verb "working out" is so strongly associated with physical exercise.
