There, their or they’re?

There, their and they're are commonly confused in English, as they sound the same.

There is an adverb which refers to places:

• The shop you need is over there.

We also use there to say that something exists:

• There is a large oak tree outside the hotel.

Their is a possessive determiner which means 'belonging to them':

• Their house is very small, isn't it?

They're is a shortened form of 'they are':

• They're too young to have a holiday so far away from home.
