    Which sentence is correct?
    Which is the correct sentence?

    We wash our hair to keep our head clean OR we wash our hair to keep our heads clean?

    We bath to keep our body clean or keep our bodies clean?

    Let's see, since "we" is plural what do you think it would be?

    Also, the correct spelling is bathe, not bath.

    So, tell me what you have come up with and I will let you know if it is correct or not.

    I know that 'bathe' is the correct spelling though I wrote it the way it was given to me. I naturally assume that since 'we' is plural the anwers would be... heads and... bodies... but I just had to be sure as English is not my first language.

    Think singular/singular (one) and plural/plural (more than one.) They should be the same.

    It is correct to say, "We wash our hair to keep our heads clean?" or you could say, "I wash my hair to keep my head clean."

    And, "We bathe to keep our bodies clean?" Or, "I bathe to keep my body clean."
