#English Study#What is the difference: Persons and People

A “person” is a noun meaning an individual human. “Person” is in the singular form.In English, we do have a plural form of that word, which is “persons.” Although we do not use it much in everyday speech, the word “persons” is often used in law, especially when talking about “missing persons” or “persons of interest.”

Most often, we use the word “people” to mean multiple or a group of humans. It is the most common plural form of “person.” The word is a countable noun. And, although “people” is defined as many humans, it is not a collective noun. Collective nouns describe many individuals who form a group.

We often use the word “people” when talking about one ethnic group or nationality. Sometimes you may see “peoples,” with an “s.” We use “peoples” when we are talking about different ethnic groups in the same area.#AmericanEnglish#

“Person”是一个名词，意思是单个的人。“Person”是单数形式。在英语中，这个词也有复数形式，即 "persons"。虽然我们在日常用语中使用得不多，但 "persons"这个词在法律中经常使用，尤其是在谈到 "失踪人员 "或 "相关人员 "时。

大多数情况下，我们用 "People "来指多人或一群人。它是 "Person"最常见的复数形式。这个词是一个可数名词。虽然 "People "被定义为许多人，但它并不是一个集合名词。集合名词描述的是组成一个群体的许多个体。

我们在谈论一个族群或民族时经常使用 "People "这个词。有时，你可能会看到 "peoples"（People带一个 "s"）。当我们谈论同一地区的不同民族时，会使用 "peoples"。#AmericanEnglish#
