They're: Is a contraction for "they are."



- " They're coming for us."

- "Do you know if they're bringing snacks?"

- "I wonder what they're doing."

Their: Used when describing something that is possessed by "they," or something belonging to another person or thing.

- " Their car is on fire."

- "I love their new home."

- "We are going to their game on Friday."

There: Used when referring to being in or at a certain place or point, or used as a verb when introducing a sentence.

- " There was once a restaurant there."

- "I wonder if there will be food."

Hint: When writing a sentence using one of these words, ask yourself if the word can also be said as "they are." If so, use the word "they're." If not, ask yourself if you're referring to a place, point in time, or introducing a sentence as a verb such as "there he goes again." If so, use the word "there."



Can you see how all three words may be used in one sentence?

" They're going to be upset when they see that their car is no longer there ."
