You need to stop asking us to do your homework without making your own attempt first.

Hint: Leave out unnecessary words.

1. The people...are nice.

2. The people...is nice.

Is it clear which of these two is correct?

Dear Rover,

I wish I were asking you to do my homework as I am not lucky enough to remain in school anymore. The reasons why I am asking are I want to improve my English. All questions are done by me.
Thank you.

 

[emsr2d2]

Only one of them is correct.

Only one of them is correct.

Not two?

Try to answer Rover's question. If you're in doubt, consult one of the many online dictionaries. Longman has many example sentences ( people - Definition from Longman English Dictionary Online ). The answer to your question is right there.

Not two?

I think that ems was referring to the two sentences in post #2.

 

[emsr2d2]

Not two?

Maybe I'm going mad but I was referring to the original 6 suggestions. As far as I'm concerned, only one of them is correct. I think I can guess what the other one is that might be considered correct, but to me it's not.

So you prefer,

All the people working in this company are nice.

instead of #3.

My guess. Did you mean this one?

 

[emsr2d2]

Exactly. In addition to the one we all believe to be correct, I would have been happy with #3 if it said "All the people ..."

1. The people working in this company are nice.
The people (who are) working in this company are nice.
The correct answer is number one.
The word people is always plural, so it is always followed by a plural verb.
And the use of the is necessary here because of the adjective clause (working in the company).

 

[Chicken Sandwich]

Exactly. In addition to the one we all believe to be correct, I would have been happy with #3 if it said "All the people ..."

It didn't really jump off the screen at me when I first read it. Does #3 without "the" break any grammatical rules? Since "all" can be followed by a noun directly in other instances, my guess would be that "the" is required in this sentence because "all the people" is the subject of this sentence?

Or is it just unnatural without "the"?

Thank you in advance.

However, isn't it more natural to say 'Everyone/Everybody working in this company is nice'? (That's what I'd be more likely to say, anyway).

Well, my guess would be "working in the company" is post-modifying (defining) the "people", which seems to be why ems finds it (the one without "the") unnatural. When talking about the specific people/things, "the" is preferred, I suppose.
