    I made a mistake at 3.00.
    I meant to say that "persons" Is the plural form of "person", but I accidentally said that it is the plural form of "people".😅
    Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.

    It's very interesting video and many new precious and valuable information. Your explanations words
    " a person, persons, a people, peoples" and differences in using them, are really clear and understandable. Some of them I see for the first time; I have never met " peoples", for instance.
    Although these new for me words, like peoples are very rarely used, it is good to know, when we may meet them and to use in the future.
    Thank You once again for Your wonderful and valuable video, Mike! 🙂🙏

    An informal and friendly alternative to people is "folks." it is often used in casual conversations or when addressing a group of people in a more personal or approachable manner.
