When you use plural nouns do you use plural for the objects belonging to the nouns Example The pupils raise their hands should it be hand or hands?

Yes, you should sometimes also make the objects plural. It should be "hands" in your example sentence. However, don't just make every object plural with a plural subject. Only do it when the object is plural. For instance, "The pupils raise a question" ... as a group, they can come up with one question that they want answered... so it shouldn't automatically be "The pupils raise questions." It depends on the situation described by the sentence. Some objects will be plural, but some might not be.
