			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These three words are often used incorrectly too, just like <a href="http://englishtips.com/2009/03/01/its-or-its/" target="_self">it&#8217;s and its</a>, even by native speakers. Again, it&#8217;s not very difficult to remember which is correct when.</p>
<p><em>They&#8217;re</em> is the short form of <em>they are</em>:</p>
<p>My parents have gone on holiday and <em>they&#8217;re</em> in France today.<br />
When students like a teacher, <em>they&#8217;re</em> more likely to do well in the subject he or she teaches.</p>
<p><em>Their</em> is a possessive word, just like <a href="http://englishtips.com/2009/03/01/its-or-its/" target="_self"><em>its</em></a> or <em>my</em>:</p>
<p>My children always leave <em>their</em> toys all over the place.<br />
The dogs ran towards <em>their</em> master.</p>
<p><em>There</em> is an adverb of place; it means <em>in that place</em>. Think of it as an answer to the question &#8220;where?&#8221;. Here are some sample sentences:</p>
<p>We didn&#8217;t want to go <em>there</em>, but we had to.<br />
Why did you put my book <em>there</em>?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a sentence with all three words; note how they&#8217;re (!) used:</p>
<p><em>They&#8217;re</em> <em>there</em>, and all <em>their</em> friends are with them.</p>
