| Sep 30, 2015 at 19:55 | comment | added | Virtuous Legend | I'm sorry but I don't understand the dependence of the context to the question. Are there times that word "people" gets "is" and times that it gets "are" ?! If so, I would like to know and to learn. Thank you | |

| Sep 30, 2015 at 19:12 | comment | added | Victor Bazarov | Depends on the context, but most often "are" is the verb form to use because "people" designates a multitude of individuals; just tradition, I guess. | |
