<p><strong>There</strong>, <strong>their</strong> and <strong>they’re</strong> are often confused.</p>



<p><strong>THERE</strong></p>



<p><strong>There</strong> is an adverb. It refers to a special place and means <em>in</em> (or <em>at</em> or <em>to</em>) <em>that place</em>.</p>



<p>I have read a lot about Stockholm and I have always wanted to go <strong>there</strong>.<br>You can put you bag over <strong>there</strong>.<br>We go <strong>there</strong> every summer.</p>



<p><strong>There</strong> is also used in a more abstract sense:</p>



<p><strong>Hello there!</strong><br><strong>There you go</strong> (=Now it starts again).<br><strong>There, there</strong>, it won’t hurt much longer now (said to comfort).</p>



<p><strong>There</strong> can also be used as a formal subject, usually to say that something exists.</p>



<p><strong>There is</strong> a nice pub just round the corner.<br><strong>There is</strong> a new edition of her guidebook.<br><strong>There seems</strong> to be a slight mistake here.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="683" height="1024" src="https://copyeditor.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/20230814__DSC4150-683x1024.jpg" alt="A poster for a restaurant with the word dessert spelled as desert. The image is intended to illustrate the sentence There seems to be a slight mistake here." class="wp-image-2427" srcset="https://copyeditor.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/20230814__DSC4150-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://copyeditor.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/20230814__DSC4150-200x300.jpg 200w, https://copyeditor.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/20230814__DSC4150-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://copyeditor.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/20230814__DSC4150-676x1014.jpg 676w, https://copyeditor.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/20230814__DSC4150.jpg 858w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /><figcaption>There seems to be a slight mistake here.</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>While <strong>there</strong> has many functions, <strong>their</strong> and <strong>they’re</strong> have only one meaning each.</p>



<p></p>



<p><strong>THEIR</strong></p>



<p><strong>Their</strong> means<em> belonging to them</em>.</p>



<p>Have you seen <strong>their</strong> new house?<br><strong>Their</strong> daughter is fifteen.</p>



<p></p>



<p><strong>THEY&#8217;RE</strong></p>



<p><strong>They’re</strong> is a contracted form of <strong>they are</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>They’re</strong> waiting for us at their hotel.</p>
