Which is correct?

 

[Mo0o]

I think it's the first one because they dont own the same heartbeat.

 

[pyonir]

I wanted to vote for the first one and "I don't know much......but i know i love you". I can only vote for one. Damn the choices!

 

[Zim Hosein]

I don't know much......but I know I love you

😛

 

[Tremulant]

I :heart: ninjas.

Oh, and "Jim and Mary check their heartbeats"

If they were conjoined at the chest and shared a heart, it'd be option #2.

Edit: I voted for love.

 

[notfred]

"their heartbeat" is a sinlge heartbeat belonging to them.

"their heartbeats" are two or more heartbeats belonging to them.

 

[sniperruff]

first one sounds right

when in doubt, i substitute words:

jim and larry ate their hamburgers...

 

[Ikonomi]

Unless they share a heart, it's "heartbeats".

I'm ESL and I could tell you the correct answer.... I'm more surprised than Hank Hill of Bobby when he failed English. 😀

I was confused b/c I find it correct to say "They both check their heartbeat" and "They both check their heartbeats". I guess the plural is the correct one. 5 of us could not figure it out last night....of course we were many glasses into the leftover keg.
