Do we put on out coat or coats?
‘we put on our coat’ sounds like everybody is climbing into one very big coat, while
‘We put on our coats’ sounds like everybody is putting on multiple coats.
I was taught in school that it should be ‘we put on our coat’ because there is only one coat per person.
I’ve since found that a lot of what I was taught in school was complete hooey.
Does anybody have a definitive answer?

Well that’s what I was taught. Do you have any grammar website links that support it? I was never able to find one, hence the question.
