[General] "people"; plural or singular?

[Rock Girl]

Is "people" a plural noun or a singular noun?

Which is correct?
Some people say / Some people says

does the rule change if we don't use any determiner?

*Not a Teacher*

"People" is the plural form of "person".

So it would be "Some people say".

 

[5jj]

'People' is normally the plural of 'person'; You sentence must read 'some people say...'. However, with a meaning similar to 'race', 'ethnic group', it can have a plural 'peoples'.
