Great! Every time I say that the word "peoples" do exist, someone would say "No, there is no plural for people. People is a plural word already"

[@darude8817]

@Yoel Armas Macías Example?

[@humairakakar2821]

[@greciahuamani6455]

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hi Svetlana Makhnuk. We are glad you find our videos useful. And thank you for your suggestion. We'll certainly consider it. ☺️

[@sueliishiyama4781]

Thanks Dan, very nice way to explain😃

[@youngc.930]

Persons are more polite? No wonder that restaurant staffs always asked me how many persons we are not people whenever I call to make a reservation. Thanks Dan

[@ryandixon4494]

The plural of staff is staff and not staffs.

[@maahi_thenaturestudio]

Hi Dan ! try to feature a lesson on use of word " apparently " vs obviously .

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hi Priyanka S Raj Thank you for your suggestion. We'll certainly consider it.

[@akashrajkishore]

Oh thank you very much!

[@darude8817]

"They're all humans.... so far-" robots will replace us, it's true guys.

[@nguyentriminhhien]

Hi Dan, Wish you and your team a great day. It seems that the example with Aztecs has got some typo there. Hope you can fix it. Btw, your video is amazing as usual!

[@yasminelmarabet346]

Thank you I love your video

[@asmamsalih4601]

The protoganist of the play behave like a real person . People live in the France are kind.

[@bbclearningenglish]

A great try! A few minor changes are needed: "The protoganist of the play behaveS like a real person." "People WHO live in the France are kind."

[@MohanRaj-jk7mf]

Hai!. I was taught that plural form of people is people only, not peoples (from my childhood days)

[@personal_utube]

That is true watch the video carefully

[@lexmole]

Would British persons be irritated when using persons always as plural for person (rather than people) and people only for the inhabitants of a country? Or would that be too formal/posh? Because I don't really like the double-meaning of people being the plural of person and a singular of a word with different meaning ...

[@khaleejkha4026]

Thanks

[@abdullahtariq1975]

Person = شخص Persons= أشخاص (الكتابة الرسمية) People= ( person ناس (جمع Peoples= أمم (جمع people)

[@eatsleepdie1682]

I've always thought there is only "person" and "people".. The more you know I guess

[@mdsamrat522]

Hi dan! Is 'Government'singular or plural? Can you please tell me?

[@ВладиславГуменюк-щ1е]

that's a revelation, i didn't know this meaning of "Peoples".

[@romaissanechad3191]

Im in looove in the accent 😍😍😭😭😭

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hi Romi Emily. Thank you for your comment. You'll find more on pronunciation here: www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/pronunciation

[@romaissanechad3191]

BBC Learning English thank u ^^ i found it so interesting and helpful *_*

[@davindersingh4770]

We have been taught that there is a no plural form of people.

[@kiyotakaayanokoji3065]

Not all words are taught in school

[@NjeBovu47]

Can a single person be referred to as a people?

[@Mr18081964]

I have been taught 'peopleS' is the wrong word but use only "people' as plural

[@RWL2012]

peoples are multiple groups of people.

[@dsangeeth15]

I thought persons in wrong all these days and I never heard about peoples

[@anarojas1210]

Thank you very much, I always watch these videos. I just wanted to say that the name of our CONTINENT is AMERICA no AMERICAS, even though it is divided into two or three. Like Europa is not EUROPAS . I don’t know why exist this misinformation. All the people in our continent are AMERICANS. I don’t understand why that is wrongly used to name people for a country either, that’s just wrong. There are 5 continents, just 5. For instance, 5 Olympic rings that represent the 5 continents of the world. Thanks.

[@fabinholdi]

C

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hi Fabio José Silva Rodolpho. Well done! The correct answer is c) people. A different meaning of the word people (and peoples) is nation (or nations). The Aztecs were a people from the Americas.🙂

[@azizbeksuyunboyev4735]

What about "People's Republic of China"?

[@yassisan52]

But why is the plural form of person is people

[@francocastro6298]

No entiendo 😥😥

[@salswift1989]

Bangladeshi (country) people's make the weirdest adds. Is that a correct sentence because my instinct tells me it should be just people not people's please let me know

[@Helena1629]

A Person is a legal Entity. A Fiction that separates you from a living soul and considers you a Corporation to access your Trust and keep you paying Fines because of your Ignorance. There is no mention of person in the bible. Only "My People perish through lack of Knowledge".

[@obsidian115]
