So today, we'll look at: there, their and they're. Most native English speakers pronounce these the same way, but each spelling means a very different thing.
THERE = refers to a place.
The girl is over there near the red car.
It must be difficult living there.
THERE = with the verb BE (is, am, are, was, were) to indicate the existence of something, or to mention something for the first time.
There is a lot of people in the bar.
I see there are some new restaurants in town.
THEIR = is a possessive adjective and indicates that a particular noun belongs to them.
My friends have lost their tickets.
Their clothes were all over the floor.
THEY'RE = is a contraction of They are
They're so lazy.
If they don't hurry up, they're going to be late.
TEST:
Are these right or wrong?
1. Their is no one here.
2. I can't believe they're leaving their dog there, alone!
