Struggling with 'there,' 'their,' and 'they're'? You're not alone! These homophones trip up even seasoned writers. Let's break it down.
'There' indicates a place. Think of it as 'here's opposite. Example: 'The keys are over there.' It can also introduce a sentence, like 'There is a problem.'
'Their' shows possession. If something belongs to 'them,' it's 'their's. Example: 'They love their new car.'
'They're' is a contraction of 'they are.' It's a combination of two words. Example: 'They're going to the store.'
Here's a quick tip: If you can replace the word with 'they are,' use 'they're.' If it shows ownership, use 'their.' Otherwise, it's likely 'there.' Practice makes perfect, so keep writing and don't let these tricky words intimidate you!
