WRONG TO CORRECT:

WRONG: How many people lives in that house?

CORRECT: How many people live in that house?

GRAMMAR : People is plural (= they) in its form. So, we say 'people are'/ 'people have' etc. 

More on this :

We say 'a person', 'two people', 'some people', 'a lot of people' etc.

Examples:
 
1. He is a nice person.
2. They are nice people. (not 'nice persons')
2. A lot of people use social media for marketing every day. (not 'uses')
3. Some people are always late. (not 'is')
