There is an astute question! Nice no know I'm not the only one who grinds her teeth when people advertise their stupidity, not realizing that they're making fools of themselves. Your simply asking this warms my heart, as I'm sure were your intentions. You're my favourite person today!

I'm glad you asked this question. Many people don't bother to learn the difference and still use these words incorrectly--even in important correspondence!
'There' means 'at that place.' Example: "The picnic will be set up over there."
'Their' relates to 'them'--usually in a possessive sense. Example: "Bob and Midge have two pets. Their pets' names are Rover and Mittens."
They're = they are. If you're ever unsure about using 'they're' over one 'there' or 'their', just replace 'they are' in the sentence and see if it makes sense.
'Your' relates to you, also usually in a possessive sense. Example: "Let's take your car to the movies."
'Your're' = you are. (See the note for 'they're' and apply the same principle.)
I hope this helps!

It depends on what sentence you wish to use it in here are some examples.
We are going there tomorrow. That is their toy. They're not leaving for another two weeks.
Is that your dog? You're going to the game tomorrow.

No I know how to use them correctly. English was always my favorite subject in school.

They're waiting for us over there, but your car is to slow, so you're going to have to make up for lost time, or else their efforts will be for naught.

There = location as in Over There.
Their = possession as in it is their's.
Your = It belongs to you as in yours.
You're = You Are as in You're going to regret it.

Yes I do. But I'm finding with age, I tend to make errors where they're concerned. :-)
