Common English mistakes | They're, there and their

source: Crown Academy of English     2015年8月9日
Common mistakes in English are often made with the words "they're", "there" and "their". These words are difficult because they are all pronounced the same but they have different spellings and meanings. They are homophones.
"they're" is the contracted form of "they are".
"there" is an adverb of place and also an introducing subject.
Finally "their" is a possessive adjective used to describe who owns something.
There are some English exercises at the end of the video to test your understanding.
