Do you know the difference: there/their /they're
I am back at it again and loving to learn more about those English words that kind of, tend to make us crazy! One of the main reasons that I like to do this post is that, even teachers tend to forget the difference between these confusing words and then it results into us, not using the correct word in front of our students.

Let's take a look at there.
There is the word that indicates location.
The easy way to remember this is that within the word there we see here which indicates location.

Basically the best way to remember there is always to look if you can find "here" in the word,

Their means ownership. It means that something or someone belongs to someone.
Let's take a look at they're
They're can be written out as: They are.
