And when would they be used properly?
I grew up using only “people” then I feel like one day the words “persons” started to get used in society and I don’t know why or when to use it.
In: 209
Person = (single) individual
Persons = (plural) individuals (The police have identified six persons of interest)
People = (single) a group or population of individuals (We, the people of these United States,…)
Peoples = (plural) many groups or populations (The Israeli and Palestinian peoples have long been at war.)
