There vs Their vs They’re

There points to a place or is used to introduce something. It can refer to a location literally or serve as a placeholder in sentences.

Their shows possession and comes before a noun to indicate that something belongs to them. Use it when you want to highlight ownership.

They’re is a contraction of they are. Use it when you can replace the phrase with they are without changing meaning. It often links to a description, action, or feeling.

Swap each word in these short sentences to see which fits best. Check your answers by trying to replace they’re with they are and seeing if the sentence still works.

Remember: use there for places or introductions, their for possession, and they’re as the short form of they are. Keep a few example sentences in mind and practice with small drills to make the distinctions automatic.
