There, their and they’re:
by Kate Asbury Larkin
These aren’t that hard, people!
There: An adverb meaning “in” or “at that place” or a pronoun used to introduce a sentence or clause.
- “There is a dog over there.”
🐕
Their: Possessive of the pronoun they.
- “The Smiths are missing a dog; could that be their dog?” 🐕
They’re: Contraction of they and are.
- “They’re going over there to see if it is their dog.” #ihopeitis
Lie, lay are my bugaboos.
Yes, great grammar lesson. The same thing needs to be stated for “your” and “you’re”.
Affect, effect
Take vs bring! Drives me nuts, and it is misused most of the time.
Less and fewer – their misuse drives me nuts!
