@misneach Have you ever heard people saying Most of the people?
- English (UK)
- Irish
@Parazitas14 yes I have but ‘most people’ already suggests ‘most of the people’ so there is no need to say ‘of the’ here 😊
- Spanish (Spain)
@Parazitas14 you can only use “Most of the people” when you refer to a specific group of people, and “most people” when you are including everyone. Example:
- Most people enjoy this activity. (including everyone)
- Most of the people who play video games enjoy this activity (you are referring to a specific group)
- Most of the people on Instagram enjoy this activity (also a specific group, but using “on”)
