How do I know when to use 'there', 'their' and 'they're' properly?

Answer 1

There, their and they're

There refers to a location. Clue 'here' or 'there.' This word has 'here' in it to remember it is for location. There is the store!

Their refers to something that belongs to someone. Clues 'he, i' appear in this word. He and I are people so this their refers to people. Their house is in the middle of the block.

They're is a contraction. Clue: Break this word into 'they and are.' Try using 'they are' in the sentence to see if you can also use they're. They are here! They're here!

Answer 2

There refers to a place

ex. The store is over there.

Their refers yours or someones personal posession or things. (we use their when talking about somes belongings)

ex. Put the clothes in their closet

They're is a contraction of two words which are (they) and ( are). we use they're when we are trying to say they are doing something.

ex. They're trying on clothes

Answer 3

Hi,

There is used when referring to something (sometimes location.) Example: They left the book over there by the tree.

Their is used when referring to something that belongs to someone. Example: Their dog is brown and white.

They're is a contraction of "They are" Example: They're singing a song.

Answer 4

Hi!

There is in regards to location

ex. "the ball is over there."

Their is used when someone owns something,

ex. "that ball is theirs"

They're is a contraction that means they are. If you're ever confused about when to use they're, replace it in your mind with the words "they are" to see if it makes sense in that context!

ex. "they're playing with the ball"
