A common mistake you make is saying: "The people is"

In English, we say: "People are". How can you remember?

There is a song by The Doors that goes:

People are strange
When you're a stranger.
Faces look ugly
When you're alone.
People seem wicked
When you're unwanted.
Streets are an evil
When you're down.

(I think)

Would this be helpful? Have you any other trick?

Then, there are special uses, of course. Which?
