Their, There and They’re

A lot of native speakers make this

mistake, too but learning the difference is surprisingly simple.
✅Their is a possessive pronoun which denotes belonging to something.
“Their house is so pretty!”
✅There denotes a place.
“There’s the mall.”
✅They’re is short for ‘they are’.
“They’re so silly for two grown-up men.”
“They’re (the two boys) are going there (to school) to finish their (belonging to the two boys) education.”

    @Todd Thanks!

    @cheerheng they will often mix up there and their.

    @陌墨 这三个词发音是一样的,所以很多外国人常常用错
  • cheerheng

    @陌墨 和你想的一样 I wonder what mistake the native speaker will make on these three vocabulary or phrases. Maybe their pronunciation?

    @寻找 thanx😁
  • 寻找

    @Dain yes
  • 陌墨

    哦,我想你大概是说这三个词的发音难以区别
  • 陌墨

    这三个词的区别多么明显,为什么以英语为母语的人也会弄错?
  • Dain

    Do you pronounce all of those in same way?🤔
