问题: there are too many people in the room.这句话是否有错

there are too many people in the room.

语法书上说 too many (+可数名词)太多的意思
people在句中是人的意思,不可数,为什么前面+too many

解答:

谁说people是不可数名词,people是可数名词,只是它表示复数罢了.
例如:There are three people.(那儿有三个人)
如果表示那儿有一个人,就应该说成There is a person.(person 是people的单数形式)
还有people还可以表示民族.
China is made up of fivety-six peoples.中国由56个民族组成.
这里peoples就应该加s了
