But whether the event continues afterwards or not can only be established by the context, not by the verb itself.
I agree. When I referred to different types of verbs in my post, this was to explain that the verb tells you which one out of PP and PPC to use (continuous or non-continuous).

From the context you can work out whether it was something that continues in the present or has recently stopped. Question 69 (without the added information that you gave) obviously continues in the present.
