error correction

[rachellesc]

Hi,
i hope im doing this right and hopefully get a response.

Im also doing the Tefl course, and its about error correction i must give what caused the error, and for this one "people is very friendly" I know better that people is plural and we would use people are friendly, i just dont know how i would answer what caused the error!
any help or opinions would be great! thanks

That's it. The verb 'is' caused the error. It should take the plural verb 'are' because the subject 'people' is plural. =)

Hello

Hoping this answer isn't too late. But another cause could be that students may assume that the noun people is singular as it has no s at the end.
