Hello everybody,

I'm writing a small essay for a school assignment and was having it corrected by a good friend. This has led to an enormous discussion about how to write the following 2 sentences:
My questions are probably very simple but keep in mind I'm not a native english speaker Wink [;)]

Sentence 1:

This was the sentence which kept lingering in my parents’ heads after their visit to the gynaecologist

Or

This was the sentence which kept lingering in my parents's heads after their visit to the gynaecologist

Or (head instead of heads)

This was the sentence which kept lingering in my parents’ head after their visit to the gynaecologist

Sentence 2:

Now, my parents would discover how having twins can change someone's life.

Or

Now, my parents would discover how having twins could change someone's life.

Many many thanks!

Vicky
