there - pronoun, its s certain type but i dont remember what kind, sorry.
their- possesive pronoun

the part of speech of they're is a contraction between they (a pronoun), and are (a verb)

there is a pronoun
their is a pronoun
were is a verb

if you mean "where" for that last one, it is a pronoun.

They’re = they are=pronoun , verb
there = adverb
their =possessive adjective
were= past tense of verb TO BE, also can be subjunctive

$10 is better than 10 points. So, 10 points is not fair.
For some reason, everyone answered the second question and overlooked the first. I just say they correct on the second answer.

okay think of it like this
THEIR air=possesive (belongs to someone)
THERE in the hills= location
They're= 2 words (they are)
were=example: They were at the mall today. (past tense verb)
good luck! =)

It is a preposition, except for were which is a verb.

I am pretty sure this is right
