Question

people的用法

Answer 1

People的意思是“人们；人民”,
用法:
1.指“人们”是用people；指“人民”时用the people.People或the people作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式.如：
Few people know the truth.很少有人知道实情.
Some people spend a lot of money on clothses.有些人在穿衣上花很多钱.
2.people 在指“民族”时,可以说a people,one people,这两者都指“一个民族”,peoples指“多个民族”.One or two peoples指的是“一两个民族”.如：
That is a people who have /has little in common with us.那是一个跟我们有很少共同点的民族.（此处定语从句中的谓语动词用单复数均可.）
3.在Sixty people means a huge party.这句话中,动词之所以用单数形式means.是因为在这里sixty people
看成一个整体,就象Five dollars is quite enough.一样.
4.people在指“家里人”时,应与my,his,your等连用.如：
Would you come and meet my people?你来见见我的家人好吗?
