they are.
They’re is a contraction that means “they are.” You can remember that apostrophes indicate the possessive only when used of ‘s, such as “the writer’s thoughts.” Otherwise, it’s generally a contraction of two words, as in can’t = cannot, or won’t = will not, or an omission of a letter or letters, as in singin’ for

- Do you know if they’re going to buy a new house?
- I don’t know if they’re planning to attend.
- They’re going camping in Florida.
- I don’t know if they’re going to sell anything.
What is an example of they re?
They’re is a contraction that is defined as they are. An example of they’re is what you say when expecting guests and the doorbell rings, “They’re here.”
Is they’re a proper term?
They’re has an apostrophe, which means it’s the product of two words: they are. If you can substitute they are into your sentence and retain the meaning, then they’re is the correct homophone to use.
What do all the there’s mean?
Their is the possessive pronoun, as in “their car is red”; there is used as an adjective, “he is always there for me,” a noun, “get away from there,” and, chiefly, an adverb, “stop right there”; they’re is a contraction of “they are,” as in “they’re getting married.”
What do the different there’s mean?
There means the opposite of here; “at that place.” Their means “belongs to them.” They’re is a contraction of “they are” or “they were.”
How do you use they?
Singular “They”
- Always use a person’s self-identified pronoun, including when a person uses the singular “they” as their pronoun.
- Also use “they” as a generic third-person singular pronoun to refer to a person whose gender is unknown or irrelevant to the context of the usage.
Can we use they for non living things?
Yes “they” is correct when referring to inanimate objects. From Merriam-Webster: those ones — used as third person pronoun serving as the plural of he, she, or it… Your second sentence is incorrect because you are referring to multiple apples.
Are they’re formal?
They’re is a contraction of the words “they are.” In formal writing, it is perfectly acceptable to use contractions.
Can you use they for objects?
It is absolutely fine to use them/they/their to refer to inanimate objects. Them/they are pronouns used for plural nouns.
When to use theirs and their’s?
The idea that theirs needs an apostrophe comes out of the fact that on virtually every other word, ‘s indicates possession, so English speakers sometimes think theirs should be spelled their’s. However, this is always incorrect – theirs is the only correct spelling.
What is there Their They’re called?
Introduction. A common mistake students make is the differentiating between there, their, and they’re. This happens because these words sound the same; they’re called homophones. These homophones have different meanings, along with different spelling.
Does there’s mean there is?
People often forget that “there’s” is a contraction of “there is” and mistakenly say “there’s three burrs caught in your hair” when they mean “there’re” (“there are”). Use “there’s” only when referring to one item.
What type of word is there’s?
This word is classified as an adverb if it is used to modify a verb in the sentence.
What is the difference between were where and we re?
They are not homophones—words that have the same sounds or spellings—and their meanings and uses are quite different. “Were” (rhymes with “fur”) is a past form of the verb “to be.” “We’re” (rhymes with “fear”) is a contraction of “we are.” The adverb and conjunction “where” (rhymes with “hair”) refers to a place.
What is the difference between whose and who’s?
Both of these words are versions of the interrogative pronoun who. Who’s is a contraction of who + is or who + has. Whose means “belonging to whom,” and occasionally “of which.”
What’s the difference between affect and effect?
Affect is usually a verb meaning “to produce an effect upon,” as in “the weather affected his mood.” Effect is usually a noun meaning “a change that results when something is done or happens,” as in “computers have had a huge effect on our lives.” There are exceptions, but if you think of affect as a verb and effect as
What does it mean to go by they?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU GO BY “THEY” PRONOUNS? It means that if you refer to me using a pronoun instead of my name that you can use “they.” For example, if Dana goes by “they” pronouns, you could say “Dana went to the library” or “They went to the library.”
What does they mean in gender?
As in: “They and I went to the store,” where they is used for a person who does not identify as male or female, or they is a filler pronoun in a situation where a person’s gender identity is unknown. “Function words don’t get enough love,” a man argued from the floor.
How can one person be a they?
This is a different use than the traditional singular they, which is used to refer to a person whose gender isn’t known or isn’t important in the context, as in the example above. The new use of they is direct, and it is for a person whose gender is known or knowable, but who does not identify as male or female.
There, they’re, and their: they sound the same but have different meanings and keeping them straight can be very tricky.
We’ll start with there. It has the word here in it, which can help remind us that this particular word is often about location:
There it is.
Put it there.
Stay there.
We’ll be there soon.
It’s about location in the more abstract sense too:
There you go.
There is where we disagree.
Friends who are always there for you.
It’s also the one to use as the first word in sentences that have the subject after the verb:
There goes the bus.
And it’s the one used with is and are at the beginning of sentences and questions:
There are plenty available.
Is there a hotel in the town?
The other two are trickier because they both have the idea of the plural in them. Both are connected to the idea of «them.»
They’re means «they are»:
They’re (=they are) funny people.
They’re (=they are) the cutest puppies ever.
It can be used of non-living things too:
They’re (=they are) both really good books.
They’re (=they are) two of our biggest problems.
The last of this trio, their, is the possessive form of they, so it has to do with what belongs to, relates to, or is made or done by certain people, animals, or things:
It’s their house.
We’re their neighbors.
The trees are losing their leaves.
And there you go. They’re not an easy group of words, but with practice we know you can master their distinctions.

We’ve made a mistake, forgotten about an important detail, or haven’t managed to get the point across? Let’s help each other to perfect our writing.
Their, there and they’re – these three homophones can perplex writers of any level. They all have a similar pronunciation which often leads people to use the incorrect word even though each of these words has a different meaning and spelling.
In this post, we will explain the differences and meanings of all three words and also use them in sentences.
What Does “Their” Mean?
The word their is the 3rd person plural possessive pronoun, which means “belonging to them.” It is the pronoun of the subject “they.” It’s used to describe possession of a thing by two or more people.
While their is most often used as a plural, in some scenarios, it can be used as a singular. For example, if the gender or identity of the owner is unknown.
Examples of their in sentences
- The white one is their house.
- She put the puppies gently, one by one, into their warm shed.
- Will anyone let me borrow their pen?
- Someone has wasted their food.
- Nobody gave me their laptop for even one day.
What Does “There” Mean?
The word there has a wide range of uses. As an adverb, there means
“in or at that place or that position.” You can remember there (adverb) for the opposite of the word, here.
Examples
- She asked me to go there and check if her car is parked perfectly.
- Sit down in the black chair over there.
- My books are right over there.
- I love Florida. I go there almost every year.
The word there is also used as a pronoun to introduce a clause.
Examples
- There is something wrong at the bottom.
- There is still hope that we will win this match.
- There is a mouse under her chair.
- Is there any hope we can still go there?
- It is raining now, but there will be sunshine in two hours.
Besides this, the word there also has some special role in a formal speech. Sometimes, it is also used as an interjection to exclaim or emphasize something.
Examples
- There, I told you my mentor wouldn’t mind!
What Does “They’re” Mean?
They’re is the contraction of the phrase “they are.” The alphabet “a” from the word “are” is replaced with an apostrophe.
Examples of they’re in sentences
- They’re going to Las Vegas with friends.
- They’re getting here around eight o’clock.
- They’re learning the differences between the three homophones!
- I think they’re happy with the results.
How to Remember The Differences Between Their, There and They’re
There are plenty of ways you can remember the differences between these three homophones. However, you can use the following easy way. You simply need to take a hint from spellings.
- The word their has “heir” in its spelling, which can remind you that it is about ownership.
- Similarly, the word there has “here” inside it. It will remind you that it is a place.
- The word they’re has an apostrophe that will tell you that the word itself is two words joined by an apostrophe.
So these are the differences between Their, there and they’re. We hope this post eliminates all your confusion about these three homophones now.

THEY’RE VS. THEIR VS. THERE
What’s the difference between they’re, their, and there?
They’re is a contraction of they are. Their is the possessive form of the personal pronoun they, essentially meaning belonging to or possessed by them, as in Is that their car, or ours? There is commonly used to introduce sentences or to indicate where something is, as in It’s over there, next to the window.
There are many instances in which they’re confused because their pronunciations are exactly the same. (See what we did there?)
There are easy ways to remember which spelling is right, and they’re actually built into each word.
The apostrophe in they’re indicates that it’s a combination of two words and signals that it’s the one you want to use when you mean they are.
You can remember that their is the one that’s used to show possession (like his and her) by remembering that it includes the word heir (a person who inherits possessions).
When it’s used to indicate location, there functions a lot like here (even though it can mean the opposite), and the word here is right inside of it.
Here’s an example of they’re, their, and there used correctly in the same sentence.
Example: It’s hard to work as a team in that environment—when they’re in there, they’re their own worst enemies.
