They’re, Their or There
These three homophones often lead to difficulty. Try to make sure that you know which is which:
"they're" is perhaps the easiest to remember. It is the shortened form of "they are". For example: They're catching a flight at 11.45.
"their" means "belonging to them". For example: Their house is in Elm Street.
"there" has two uses: 1) to mean a place For example: The post office is over there.
2) with the verb "to be" (in phrases like "there is", "there are" etc) For example: There are 26 letters in the alphabet.
