What is the difference between "there" and "their"?
"There" and "Their"
"There" refers to a location. Sometimes the location is very generalized, so sometimes specification needs to be made. ("Look over there!" "Where?")
"Their" refers to possession and is "they"s possession word. It can reference something that belongs to more than one person on ("Their car is blue"), or to someone with the "they" pronoun ("They left their pencil there on the table")
"Look over there" "The cafe is over there"
"Their house is pretty" "Their cat is fat"
There vs Their
There and their only have differences in writing! In everyday speech, there is no difference because they sound the exact same.
*A helpful tip for knowing when to write "their" instead of there: If you can replace "their" with the word "the", then you have correctly used the word "their".
example: Their cat is fat. (Now replace "their" with "the") The cat is fat. (Perfect!! "Their" was used correctly!)
If the sentence sounds weird with "the", then you probably need to use "there" instead of "their".
