Distributive Property of Nouns
Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding the distributive property of nouns.
Assume that there are 10 farmers and each farmer has a hoe and a wheat field.
Does the sentence convey the situation described above correctly? Can we simply use the singular forms of hoe and wheat field to represent that each farmer has a hoe and a wheat field?
At dawn, ten farmers bring a hoe to a wheat field.
or
Ar dawn, ten farmers bring hoes to wheat fields.
Which one of the above sentences is correct?
Would you please also help me correct my grammatical mistakes 
Thank you for your help
Kenny

To make your statement absolutely clear you'll need this: At dawn each of ten farmers brings a hoe to his wheat field. The two examples you provided are not exact enough to convey this. CJ
