Denny asked: Can we conclude from "There is a group of people standing outside a small building in a village." that "People standing outside a building."?
Options:
- yes
- no
- it is not possible to tell.
Le: OK, so how can I answer with some explanation?
To say people and a group of people says the same thing. If the group is outside a building then that is the same thing as saying they are outside a building in some particular location.
The answer: yes.
