There, they’re or their?
More homonyms that constantly cause
confusion. Hopefully these suggestions will help keep you on the right track
with them.
'There' is about the location of
something, as in 'It's over there.' One
way to remember this is as follows:
't(Here) for coffee, there for
t(ea).'
'They're' is a contraction of
'they are'.
'Beware if they're too pleasant;
they're probably after your money.'
If you can use the full phrase,
'they are' in the sentence, then 'they're ' is the suitable word.
'Their' is the plural pronoun that
equates with 'mine' – both have an 'i', which will hopefully act as a reminder.
'Their dresses are too short, but
mine is just the right length.'
