| Because they're is a contraction for they are. :) |

| Re: Their\there\they're 2 Right! Some of my students have a hard time with this. Since "they're" is a contraction, you can use either "they're" or "they are" in the sentence. If putting "they are" in the sentence does not make sense, you are probably using the wrong "they're/there/their" term.  -ESL Tutor InspiredByEnglish |

| Re: Their\there\they're 2 Their not coming is no skin off my nose! I didn't want them here anyway! (Context makes so many things possible!) AlexAD likes this.
