Two persons VS two people

Question

Hi all,

Two persons VS two people

Answer 1

Hi. We know that the widely-used plural form of "person" is "people", but in some formal and legal texts, "persons" could be used instead of "people". Keep in mind in these cases we use just "persons":

Persons in used mainly when talking about the first, second and third persons in linguistics.

Persons is used when talking about the "Three persons of the Holy Trinity"
