Hi, I'm Dan and today I'm going to talk to you about person and persons, people and peoples.A person is a human man, woman, or child. It is a singular countable noun. There was one person at the door.The plural of person is people. It refers to a group or a number of human beings. It is a plural countable noun. There were three people at the door.So how about persons? Persons is a plural countable noun. It's similar to people, but it's considered more polite and more formal. It's most often seen written down. This lift can hold a maximum of 15 persons.And peoples? Peoples is the countable plural form of people and comes from the other meaning of people. People can mean nation. The Aztecs were a people that lived in the Americas. Or, there are many peoples living on the Earth. They are all human.我是Dan,今天我們來聊聊person 和 persons, people 和 peoples。Person指一個人,一個男人,女人或孩子。單數可數名詞。例:There was one person at the door.Person的複數形式是people。它指的是一群人或許多人。複數可數名詞。例:There were three people at the door.那persons呢?persons是複數可數名詞。和people很類似,但更加禮貌,也更加 正式。通常以書面文字呈現。如:This lift can hold a maximum of 15 persons.至於peoples則是people的另一層意思的複數形式。意為民族、種族。例:The Aztecs were a people that lived in the Americas. There are many peoples living on the Earth. They are all human.
