subject-verb-agreement

Which one is correct?

A: "the type of people who work a lot"

or

B: "the type of people who works a lot"?

I think it is B, but my girlfriend who is a native speaker told me the correct answer is A.

Best Answer

The type of people who work a lot.

People in English has a plural meaning, does not take an s and is, therefore, never used with a third person ending on the verb.

People like the zoo. People go fishing on Sunday. People are nice when they want to be.
