Just a quick shoutout to this common confusion involving the use of GENTE in Spanish.

For English speakers, the weight of the plural implications of PEOPLE tends to push them into saying things like:

• Gente son…

Native Spanish speakers often make they mistake when they say

• The People is…

Remember that GENTE is always singular and should be preceded by the feminine article:

• La gente es
• La gente está
• La gente quiere

And so on and so forth,

Happy Spanish learning,
