Why do people say persons instead of people?

English
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

I don't think that people say 'persons', because that's grammatically incorrect. But sometimes you would see the word 'person', because 'person' points to one person(Singular), and people points to mutiple people(Plural).

I hope this helps:D

<span>Ian the Alligator stood at third base waiting for the opportunity to reach home base and tie the game. Dan the Beaver went for the bunt with two strikes and strike three, he was out. In the bottom of the ninth with one out remaining, the team just needed to find a way to get Ian home.

   The home team cheered "bring Ian home, bring Ian home!" The chant was loud enough that the catcher missed his signs to the pitcher and a breaking ball - on the first pitch to Larry the Lion - went between the catcher's legs and bounced to the backstop.

    Ian ran home, but the pitcher was fast too. He reached home with time to spare, got the ball from the catcher and blocked Ian. He had no choice but to return to third. With his long jaw he tagged up just in time.

    Ian stood up and - thinking the ball was already back on the mound with the pitcher - inched towards home plate. Alas, the third baseman had the ball and tagged Ian out.

   It was down to Larry.

   With one out left and Larry - slow for a Lion - the pitcher was at ease. Even if Larry connected, he'd never reach hope plate.

   Unless... crack! Larry hit the ball... back, back, back and it's gone.

   The Alberta Animals tie the game and force extra innings.</span>
