English Grammar Rules
Their, They're and There sound the same in English. Words that sound the same are called homophones. It is a common mistake to misspell these words in written English, even for native English speakers.
In this English lesson we look at the different meanings and uses of these words with many example sentences.
We look at the meaning of THEY'RE including:
- They're + adjective

- They're + plural noun
We look at the meaning of THEIR including its use as a possessive adjective before a noun
- Their + noun
We look at the meaning of THERE including:
- There as the opposite of here.
- There is and There are
We seen an example of a sentence that contains They're, Their and There (all at once).
Then we give some tips to help you remember the difference between THEY'RE and THEIR.
