There can be used as an adjective of place:-
For example: "The car is over there in the car park."
There can also be used as the introductory subject
in sentences:-
For example: "There are some grammar pages on this web site."
They're is the contraction of "they are".
For example: "They're always surfing the Internet."
Their is a possessive pronoun like "her" or "our" indicating that something belongs to more than one person, not including yourself.
For example: "Have they done their homework?"
Example: "There's a large family in this town. Look they're over
there by their car."
!Note - If you've written
"they're," ask yourself whether you can substitute "they
are." If not, you've made a mistake. There" has "here"
inside it to remind you it refers to a place, while "their"
has "heir" buried in it to remind you that it has to do with
possession. |
