there - relates to a place, think of it like "There is a green and pleasant land" or "here and there"

their - is possessive, as in it belongs to them, it is theirs

they're - is a shortned form of "they are"

There you go :o)

What's the difference between their, there,
They're really not that complicated; once you understand their differences there shouldn't be any more confusion.


Their

Their is the third person plural possessive adjective, used to describe something as belong to them. Their is nearly always followed by a noun.

Where is their car?

Are these their pens?

Their books are on the table.

This is their room and this is ours.

What happened to their dog?

Their being here is causing some problems.


There

There has several different uses.

1. Adverb that means the opposite of "here"

He's over there.

Stop right there.

Do you want to sit here or there?

2. Pronoun that introduces a noun or clause.

There is something strange going on.

Is there a phone?

3. Adjective that emphasizes which person.

That guy there seems to be in trouble.

Those there look good.

4. Noun that means "that place."

From there, we drove to Boston.

I'm not going in there!

There is when you might say Look over there!

It is their bike. (shows possesion.)

They're is a contraction. They are going to do something.

"there" is a place..."over there", "there it is"
"their" indicates ownership..."their car", "that's their house"
"they're" is as spelled..."they are"...abbreviation...noun and verb..."they're the best"...technically a sentence; "they're"
