Je ne pense guèreN'aurait-on pas besoin d'utiliser le mot <en> avec cette phrase? Sinon, la phrase n'a pas de sens. Je n'en pense guère ou j'en pense à peine. J'ai à peine le temps de le faire... I hardly have time to do it. Merci, Don

Specific question

The lesson says that when talking about specifics, you use être, but the kwiz said this should be aller:

Martine était malade, mais elle ________ mieux à présent.

She is feeling better at present sounds like it is specific, so why is 'est' not right here?
