Many thanks, CJ.
Is there an expression:
She is doing the washing.
(if yes, what is the meaning?)
Thanks,
Tom

It's not very natural.
She's doing the laundry. She's doing the dishes. She's cleaning the bathroom. All of those involve washing of some sort. I would wonder which you mean.
In times past, you might see "the washing" to mean the laundry, but at least in the US, it's not used alone.
