One of, if not the, most common grammar mistakes around is the mixing up of their/there/they’re. If you’ve ever read anything on the internet, you’ve probably seen these 3 words used incorrectly more times than you can count! So let’s try to make it really clear so that next time you don’t second guess yourself.
📍 Kevin and Sue drove there after the party. (Location/place=there)
😴😴 Kevin and Sue said they’re too tired to drive home. (They are=they’re)
🧍♀️🧍♂️Kevin and Sue send their good wishes to you. (People=their)
Grammarly also has a few little tips if my emojis don’t fully stick.
There has the word “here” in it, to help you remember it’s referring to a figurative or literal place.
Their has the word “heir” in it, which means a person is inheriting something. This can remind you that their refers to people, not a place.

They’re has an apostrophe, which indicates that it is made from two words combined. They are here = they’re here
