	Abil  #533986  Sun, 29 Jun 08 04:13 AM We wash our hands. We brush our teeth. We also wash our faces. We clean our bodies. We shampoo our hair or what? (when taking a bath or shower) What shall we say when we are not using shampoo but soap? Thanks.    Abil Joined on Wed, Jun 11 2008 Regular Member (739)

	Avangi  #533990  Sun, 29 Jun 08 04:22 AM You can "soap/lather up your hair" whether you use soap or shampoo.  For the whole process, including rinse, you can shampoo your hair with soap or shampoo.   - A.    Avangi Joined on Mon, Nov 19 2007 Senior Member (3,291) ". . . le plaisir delicieux et toujours nouveau d'une occupation inutile." - Henri de Regnier

	Abil  #533995  Sun, 29 Jun 08 04:32 AM Can I say: Lather your hair with shampoo and then rinse it out? Thanks    Abil

	Clive  #534030  Sun, 29 Jun 08 05:57 AM Hi guys, We clean our bodies. This is correct grammar, but very unidiomatic. We wash (ourselves). We take a shower. We have a bath. Maybe We wash all over.

	New2grammar  #534054  Sun, 29 Jun 08 08:07 AM Sorry to interrrupt. Which of the following is correct? After soccer practice, they went home and took [a shower/showers].    New2grammar Joined on Tue, Nov 21 2006 Veteran Member (7,670) Who wants to go sailing around the world with me?

	Clive  #534229  Sun, 29 Jun 08 03:17 PM Hi, Both are OK, but I usually hear the singular term. One shower each is easily understood. Clive    Clive

	Avangi  #534261  Sun, 29 Jun 08 04:22 PM Funny thing.  I believe I'd say "They all went home to take a shower,"  not "to take showers," but without the infinitive, I'd say, "They all went home and took showers."  I'm not quite comfortable with Clive's version. Of course if someone planted a concealed microphone, I might be heard to contradict myself.    Avangi
