Hi
Can we say il y avait beaucoup de "personnes" instead of "gens"?

I encountered this question in a quiz and got it wrong:
"Manon aime une autre personne." means:
Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, or the translation isn't quite literal in English, but the correct answer "Manon loves another person" seems to imply something different. I read this as "Manon loves [a different] person." To say that Manon loves another person implies to me that she may love more than one person. For example, if I said "J'ai une autre voiture," am I saying I have 2 cars now, or that I have a different/new car?
I would like to say "we would like some cream but it's very expensive". Can I say like "Nous voudrions de la crème, mais il est très chère"?
The student is referred to the future tense of savoir when the conditionnel is employed by the speaker.
