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

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 ❤️

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته

اعتقد انها على حق

لان جمع personهو people

وفي اللغة الانكليزية لايوجد مثنى

الجمع يبدا من 2فما فوق.

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.

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

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

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
