Question

السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته،

Actually I was talking Yesterday to one of my friends and I said two persons , then she told me we shoudn't say two persons we should say two people instead.

What do you think, is she right

Thanks my friends and I wish you a blessed Ramadan

Answer 1

Yeah she's really right because the plural from person is people .

By the way, Mr/ Ibrahim said that before but I don't remember in which course.

Good luck for you and Ramadan mubarak ❤️

Answer 2

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته

اعتقد انها على حق

لان جمع personهو people

وفي اللغة الانكليزية لايوجد مثنى

الجمع يبدا من 2فما فوق.

Thanks a lot my friend

Answer 3

و عليكم  السلام ورحمه الله وبركاته 

(two people ) right 

but I think you can say two persons because you add a number at first

وشكراً.

Thank you so much my dear you're so helpful

Answer 4

Hey,

I guess your friend is right ! Let me tell you why , first of all person is uncountable , you can't say seven persons ..., however, you have the right to say seven people !

Hope you get the picture

I got it thanks

Person" is countable" :)

"The usual plural form of it is "people

An uncountable noun can't have a plural form, so that means person is countable

Answer 5

Yes, she's right

Persons is not wrong, but it's very formal and used in formal situations

People is neutral. You can use it formal or informal situations

"So you were wrong; because no one wants to be formal in a "conversation
