Explanation
People means human beings in general, not one person but many. The word is used to talk about individuals together as a group. It can refer to everyone in the world, people in a country, or people in a small place like a family, school, or office. We use people when we want to talk about humans as a whole or about a group sharing something in common, such as culture, work, or location.
