In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack explain the differences between there, their, and they're. The words "there," "their," and "they're" are homophones, which means they sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Here's a breakdown of each: There: Definition: Used to indicate a place or location. Example: "I left my keys over there." Their: Definition: A possessive adjective indicating ownership by a group of people. Example: "The students forgot to take their books home." They're: Definition: A contraction of "they are." Example: "They're going to the movies tonight." To remember the difference: "There" has the word "here" in it, and both refer to a place or location. "Their" has the word "heir" in it, suggesting ownership by a group. "They're" is a contraction of "they are," so if you can replace it with "they are" in a sentence and it still makes sense, then you're using it correctly.

  • Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.

  • My name is Jack, and I'm here with my co host, social.

  • And today we are doing.

  • Sorry.

  • We are in the grammar zone.

  • And today's grammar zone is the.

  • Is actually three.

  • There are three words there, there, and there.

  • And these are homophones, and the meanings are different, but the sounds are all the same.

  • So this gets confusing, I think, for language learners, social, because they hear the word there and they just think it has one meaning and one spelling, but they don't realize there are actually three different spellings and three different meanings of the word there.

  • And so I thought maybe you could start us off with, like, the first one.

  • T h e r e, there.

  • What does that mean?

  • And can you give me an example?

  • There is a word that refers to a physical place.

  • Like that person is over there, or where can I buy some socks?

  • Oh, they're over there in aisle four or something like that.

  • Right.

  • And the way that my elementary school teacher taught us this, I think, can be really helpful.

  • There is spelled t h e r e.
