people复数形式是peoples,现在分词peopling;过去式peopled。people表示“民族”时的复数是peoples。一般名词复数是在名词后面加上“s”,people不属于名词变复数规则的特殊情况,所以直接加s。people的意思是人;人民;民族等。
例句:However that may be, the moment a people adopts representatives it is no longer free; it no longer exists.不论会怎样,一个民族一旦接受了代表,他就不再自由了,再也生存不下去了。He began to count the people in his mind while they were having the delicious food.当他们食用可口食物时,他在他的头脑里开始计数人民。
people意思是“人们”时,必须用复数的谓语。如:people here are very kind.people意思是“民族”“部落”或“种族”时可数,其复数为peoples。如:chinese people is a hardworking people.总结:若people后接名词的复数形式,用复数,而后接单数名词时,用单数形式。
扩展资料:people和person这两个词其实都来自拉丁语,但是它们的来源有所不同。Person来自于拉丁语persona,这一拉丁语最早的意思是“(演员戴的)面具”,后面演变出了“人类个体”的含义(an individual human);people则来自于populus,意思是“民族,人民”。
people含义是“人民(群众),民族”,谓语动词多用单数形式,后面加is。people含义是“人,人们”时,谓语动词用复数,后面加are。
1.people作“人”讲时,是集体名词,无单数形式,本身代表复数概念。people作主语时,谓语动词须用复数。

People use Mr., Mrs. or Miss with the family name. 人们把先生、太太、小姐与姓连用。Streets crowded with peoples. 挤满人的街道。
(2)指某地区的“人”;某阶层的“人”。如:
The people in the village like the new doctor. 村里的人喜欢那位新来的医生。
2.People作“民族”讲时,有单、复数之分。如:
The Chinese people are a hard-working people. 中华民族是一个勤劳的民族。
There are 56 peoples in China. 中国有56个民族。
3.the people表示“人民”。如:
We study for the people. 我们为人民学习。
