A bathroom is a room for washing, often with a toilet.

The idea

Use a bathroom for one room and bathrooms for more than one. Say in the bathroom for its location.

Examples

  • The bathroom is upstairs.
  • I wash my hands in the bathroom.
  • Our bathroom has a shower.
  • The bathroom door is closed.
  • They clean the bathroom on Saturday.
  • The two bathrooms are small.
