60 people vs 60 peoples

The correct phrase is '60 people.' The word 'people' is already plural, so there is no need to add an 's' to make it plural. 'Peoples' is used in a different context to refer to different ethnic groups or nationalities.

60 people

This is the correct phrase. 'People' is already plural, so it does not need an 's' to indicate plurality.

Use '60 people' when referring to a group of 60 individuals. 'People' is the plural form of 'person.'

Examples:

  • There are 60 people in the room.

  • The team consists of 60 people.
  • 60 people were interviewed for the study.

Alternatives:

  • 60 individuals

  • 60 individuals

60 peoples

This is incorrect. 'Peoples' is used in a different context to refer to different ethnic groups or nationalities, not as the plural of 'people.'
