Understand the Homophones There, Their and They're

Homophones are words which sound the same but have a different spelling and meaning. 

There are three words which sound the same that we will focus on here:

there          their          they're

Here is a helpful way of remembering which spelling to choose.

Their means something belongs to someone. We can remember this as it has an 'i' in it. 

Example: I borrowed their toy. 

There refers to a place. We can remember it as it has the word 'here' in it (here and there). 

Example: Let's go over there. 

They're is a contraction for two words, they are. We can remember it by knowing the apostrophe is in place of the space and the a. 

Example: They're going on holiday. 

Let's have a go at choosing the correct spelling for these words in different sentences.
