"They do not want to be the last people."

Translation: Họ không muốn là những người cuối cùng.

Is những really necassary?

[StewartMM]

It marks it wrong if it's not. Moreover, it also marks 'các' wrong too.

[tiff_th]

Các was marked wrong for me as well

[IsaacEarl1]

yes I am wondering this as well...

[Chris273763]

Họ is plural, so the người needs to be made plural with the những (ie they don't want to be the last people vs they don't want to be the last person).

[JorisHeylen]

People can refer to 1 group of humans however if they would write "They do not want to be the last humans." it would have another connotation.

[huuhaixd]

Họ không muốn trở thành những người cuối cùng

[XieC2]

Họ không muốn lầm những người cuối cùng should be accepted.
