Let’s go step by step to fill in each blank with the correct word: their, they’re, or there.

Remember:
- their = belongs to them (possessive)
- they’re = they are (contraction)
- there = a place, or “put it there” (location)

---

1. It is ___ turn to play.
→ We’re talking about whose turn it is → belongs to them → their

2. ___ are many people at the dance tonight.
→ This means “They are many people...” but that doesn’t make sense. Actually, we mean “There are many people...” → location/existence → There

3. ___ my two best friends.
→ Means “They are my two best friends.” → contraction of “they are” → They’re

4. We asked them to put ___ coat on the hooks.
→ The coat belongs to them → possessive → their

5. ___ is a cat in the backyard.
→ Again, this is about existence/location → “There is a cat...” → There

6. Place the bowl ___, by the sink.
→ Telling someone where to put it → location → there

7. I asked them if ___ comfortable.
→ Means “if they are comfortable” → contraction → they’re

8. ___ boots were all wet.
→ Boots belong to them → possessive → Their

9. ___ the best at what they do.
→ Means “They are the best...” → contraction → They’re

10. Will ___ be anything else?
→ Asking if something will exist/happen → “Will there be...” → there

---

Final Answer:
1. their
2. There
3. They’re
4. their
5. There
6. there
7. they’re
8. Their
9. They’re
10. there
