Which one is correct: "There is a few people" because of the A determiner which is singular, or "there are a few people" because of the noun PEOPLE which is plural? Thanks a lot.
where I'm assuming that two or more of the addressees have read at least 3 novels.

I would say that "American people" means those people in general, whereas "the American people" refers to the ...
