[正] There are five hundred people here.
[误] There is only one people.
[正] There is only one person.
[误] People there is friendly.
[正] People there are friendly.
[析] people作为人讲时为复数名词,如要讲一个人应用one person, 而不能用people, 讲若干人时用people而不能加s,这样的用法还有police(警察)等,这些概念用单数时要换其他的词. 如: people-a person; police-policeman policewoman; youth-a young man/woman.
picture
[误] There are some spots in the picture.
[正] There are some spots on the picture.
[误] There is a young woman on the picture.
[正] There is a young woman in the picture.

pity
[误] What pity that her mother must always suffer!
[正] What a pity that her mother must always suffer!
[析] pity作为遗憾之事讲常加不定冠词;但要注意作为同情、怜悯讲则不加冠词,为不可数名词,如: I feel pity for you. 它还可以用作动词,如: He pitied the poor people.
