Step-by-step solution for: Their / There / Theyre - All Things Grammar
Here’s the completed worksheet with correct answers and explanations for each sentence. The task is to choose between their, there, or they’re — three homophones that sound alike but have very different meanings:
---
🔹 their = possessive pronoun (belonging to them)
🔹 there = indicates a place or existence (“over there,” “there are”)
🔹 they’re = contraction of “they are”
---
1. They parked _their_ car under a tree.
→ *“Their”* shows possession — the car belongs to them.
2. I won’t be at the office at eight o’clock. However, I’ll be _there_ at nine.
→ *“There”* refers to the location — the office.
3. _There_ were lots of people lined up outside the movie theater.
→ *“There”* introduces existence — “there were” = “there existed.”
4. Sam and William are still sleeping because _they’re_ very tired.
→ *“They’re”* = “they are” — describing their state.
5. _They’re_ not here. Where are they?
→ *“They’re”* = “they are” — talking about their current location/status.
6. Our bicycles are old, but _their_ bicycles are new.
→ *“Their”* = possession — the bicycles belong to someone else (them).
7. The kids are outside. _They’re_ playing in the garden.
→ *“They’re”* = “they are” — describing what the kids are doing.
8. Are _there_ any cookies in the kitchen?
→ *“There”* — asking about existence: “Are there any...?”
9. Where are _their_ books?
→ *“Their”* — possession — whose books? The books belonging to them.
10. _There_ are a few birds in the tree. _They’re_ singing.
→ First blank: *“There”* = existence (“there are”).
→ Second blank: *“They’re”* = “they are” — the birds are singing.
11. Is _there_ anything I can do to help you?
→ *“There”* — existence: “Is there anything...?”
12. _There_ are only a few more days left before the final exam.
→ *“There”* — existence: “there are” = “a few days exist.”
13. _There_ aren’t any tickets left for the two o’clock train.
→ *“There”* — negative existence: “there are not.”
14. They can’t find _their_ seats on the airplane.
→ *“Their”* — possession — seats belonging to them.
15. (A) Where are they? (B) _They’re_ at home.
→ *“They’re”* = “they are” — answering where they are located.
16. _There_ are many things you can do if you feel bored.
→ *“There”* — existence: “there are many things.”
17. I’ll stay here. You go _there_.
→ *“There”* — opposite of “here”; indicates a different place.
18. _They’re_ teachers. _Their_ not ours.
→ First blank: *“They’re”* = “they are” — describing who they are.
→ Second blank: *“Their”* — possession — the teachers belong to someone else, not us.
⚠️ *Note: There’s a typo in the original — it should say “_They’re_ not ours” or “_Their_ [teachers] are not ours.” But based on context, “Their” fits as possessive.*
19. _There_ _they’re_ _. Can you see them?
→ This line seems misprinted. Likely intended:
→ “_There_ they are. Can you see them?”
But since we must use only *their/there/they’re*, the best fit is:
→ _There_ _they’re_ → doesn’t make grammatical sense.
✔ Most logical correction:
→ “_There_ they are.” → But “are” isn’t an option.
→ If forced to pick from given words:
→ “_There_ _they’re_” — incorrect grammar.
❗ Probably a typo. Best guess: It should read “_There_ they are.” — so maybe the second blank is meant to be “are” (not listed).
Alternatively, if we interpret as:
→ “_They’re_ over _there_.” — which would make sense.
But since it's written as “_ _ _”, perhaps it’s:
→ “_There_ _they’re_ _.” — this is ungrammatical.
📌 Best practical answer:
→ “_There_ _they’re_” — even though wrong, if forced to fill blanks with given words.
But realistically, this line likely has a printing error.
✔ Let’s assume it’s meant to be:
→ “_There_ they are.” → So first blank: There, second: they’re (as contraction for “they are”) — but “they’re” already includes “are”.
Actually, “They’re over there.” makes perfect sense.
So perhaps the sentence is:
> “_They’re_ over _there_.” Can you see them?
That’s grammatically correct and uses both words appropriately.
✔ Final Answer for #19:
→ They’re over there.
20. _They’re_ over _there_ by _their_ car.
→ First: *“They’re”* = “they are” — subject + verb.
→ Second: *“there”* — location.
→ Third: *“their”* — possession — the car belongs to them.

➤ Is it showing ownership? → their
➤ Is it talking about a place or existence? → there
➤ Is it short for “they are”? → they’re
