Bathroom

📖 Word Notes – Bathroom

Learn the words first, then try the 6 exercises.

1 Tier 1 – The Concept & Nuance: Personal Hygiene & Bathroom Fixtures

Bathroom vocabulary includes permanent sanitary fixtures and everyday grooming products. British and North American English use different verbs for taking a bath or shower.

🚿 Fixtures & Plumbing
bath / bathtub 🛁 · shower 🚿
toilet 🚽 · mirror 🪞
washbasin / basin (bathroom sink)
towel rail · cabinet
🧼 Toiletries & Hygiene
soap 🧼 · shampoo · shower gel
towel 🧖 · toilet paper
toothbrush 🪥 · toothpaste
comb · hairbrush · razor

💡 Have vs Take a Shower: UK English prefers have a shower / bath; North American English prefers take a shower / bath. Both are 100% correct in international exams.

2 Tier 2 – Essential Collocations & Confusing Pairs

⚖️ Washbasin vs Kitchen Sink & Comb vs Brush
Washbasin / Basin The sanitary bowl in the bathroom used for washing hands and face.
Sink The large bowl in the kitchen used for washing dishes and food.
Comb vs Hairbrush A comb is flat with thin teeth; a hairbrush has a handle and dense bristles.
🔗 Grooming Collocations
– have / take a shower
– brush your teeth (with toothpaste)
– wash your hands with soap
– dry yourself with a towel

3 Tier 3 – Top 3 Common Learner Pitfalls

✓ I must have a shower / take a shower before breakfast.

– Rule: Use have or take with shower/bath, never make.

✗ I forgot my tooth brush and tooth paste. (spacing)
✓ I forgot my toothbrush and toothpaste.

– Rule: Toothbrush and toothpaste are single compound words.

✗ She washed her tooths with mint paste.
✓ She brushed her teeth with mint paste.
