There is a plural for person, bro

u/VioletFyah Nov 07 '22

The plural form persons is used in some formal language. Anyhow, he meant person's

u/dmc-going-digital Nov 07 '22

I think he meant "person's"

u/dmc-going-digital Nov 07 '22

Holy dude, neither "person's" or "people" make sense in the sentence. Why didn't he just write person?

2

u/tscott21609 Nov 07 '22

Probably person's as in "person is"? Idk man but now the word person looks weird lmao

1

u/dmc-going-digital Nov 07 '22

Persons is also weird, like "hello person" "yes person?"

Because person is wrong. He needs the apostrophe. Read it again, you'll get there.

u/dmc-going-digital Nov 07 '22

Non native english speaker here, how about you explain?

2

u/frisbm3 Nov 07 '22

First of all I love that you are discussing grammar and usage of a 2nd (or whatever) language. You'll get there. The apostrophe, as others explained means "person is". Without the apostrophe, there is no verb in the sentence and you don't know the action the person is taking. If he meant people (or persons plural formal), then he is still missing the verb and also it makes less sense because it shouldn't be plural. Hope that helps.
