Singular where plural in English (Collective nouns)
In English, what we call collective nouns (e.g. family, team, police, company, ...) can be followed by a verb either in singular or plural form, depending on whether we consider the group as a single unit (singular), or as the individuals forming the group (plural).
However, these collective nouns are always followed by singular in French.

Note that toilettes is always used in the plural to mean "the toilet/restroom".
