What is the difference in “persons” and “people”?

591 views

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.

We use the singular person. And say it to be more inclusive, in place of ‘men’ is some words, like we say ‘chairperson’ not ‘chairman’.

But not sure on ‘persons’, although you do hear ‘Persons who want to make booking xyz, and so on..
