Definition: An individual; usually a human being.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve asked a really good question about the word "persons," and you’re right to check with the dictionary. It does say “an individual; usually a human being.” But let's dig a little deeper, shall we? Think of it this way: “Person” is a very common word, but sometimes we need to be more specific. "Persons" – that’s the plural form, you see. It means more than one individual. Like if I say “These are three persons in the room,” I'm talking about at least two people! It can also refer to legal entities too, like companies or organizations - they're considered "persons" under certain laws. So, while a person is usually a human, "persons" just means multiple individuals – one or more! Does that make sense? Do you have any other questions about this concept, perhaps a rhyme to help you remember?
