plural of hill
"We drove up and down the rolling hills all afternoon to enjoy the changing views."
In plain English: Hills are areas of land that rise up higher than the ground around them but are not as tall as mountains.
"We drove up the winding road to see the green hills in the distance."
Usage: Use "hills" to refer collectively to multiple elevated areas of land that are lower than mountains and lack sharp peaks. Do not use it as a singular term; if referring to just one such landform, the correct word is "hill."
Third-person singular simple present indicative form of hill
"The third person singular simple present indicative form of the verb to hill is hills, as seen in the sentence "He hills the dirt around the base of the tree.""
In plain English: To hill something means to shape it into a small mound of earth.
"The company will be hilling the soil to prepare for planting seeds."
Usage: Do not use "hills" as a verb in modern English; it is an archaic or dialectal term that has been replaced by the regular conjugation "hills" only in the third-person singular present tense (e.g., "She hils the garden" is incorrect, while "He hils" is also incorrect). In everyday usage, simply avoid treating "hill" as a verb entirely and use synonyms like "slope," "bank," or "elevate" instead.
A surname.
"My neighbor, Mr. Hills, invited us over for dinner last night."
Derived from Old English hyll, hills originally meant small mounds or heaps of earth. The term evolved to describe natural elevations of land that are lower than mountains and have rounded tops.
