Denny asked: If "Two people hike up a snowy hill." does that mean that "Two people hiking."?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no.
Le: OK, so how can I answer with some explanation?
The people may not be hiking which usually denote a longer trip. They could just be on a hike which can mean a shorter walk.
The answer: it is not possible to tell.
