walking, going

[Svetlana Grenier]

Yes, it is clear: in "shla" she was "walking down the street", "walking 
through the park"; in "khodila", she was "walking back and forth in the 
street" or "he was walking around in the park."  Of course, if you add 
other words (say "chasto khodila") it would mean something different.
At least, that's how it sounds to me!
