Oh! for Christ's sake!

The word “there” typically means in or at that place and can be an adverb (as in stand over there) and a noun (as in you can see it from there). It also has some more abstract meanings, such as when it’s used a pronoun that introduces a clause or phrase (as in there comes a time). As an adjective, “there” means capable of being relied on (as in I’ll be there for you).The word “their” shows ownership as the possessive form of they—such as how “my” is the possessive form of “me”:Their bus was so late, so Susie and Teddy started walking. (“Their” shows that Susie and Teddy “own” the bus.)The word “they’re” is simply a contraction (they+are=they’re). Don’t let the apostrophe fool you: “they’re” is never used to show possession. It is always only a shortened version of they+are.
