He or she has a made a lot of progress.

example:

Last year Sally was badly injured in a car accident. She had multiple broken bones and was unable to walk for a while.

But during the past year she has been going to physical therapy. Now she walks with a slight limp and is able to run for short distances.

thanks! I see.


Whenever I see the phrase, "I see," I am reminded of one my prior bosses who had a very quick wit. Whenever I said, "I see," he would add in quickly, "said the blind man to the deaf dog."

That always made me laugh. Thought you might enjoy the humor.
