Step-by-step solution for: Their, there or theyre? Worksheets
Let's solve this grammar worksheet step by step. The task is to choose the correct word — "their," "there," or "they're" — for each sentence.
---
- Their = possessive form (belonging to them)
→ *Their dog is friendly.*
- There = indicates a place or existence
→ *The book is over there.* / *There is a cat.*
- They're = contraction of "they are"
→ *They're going to the park.*
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence:
---
1. Go back ________ now!
→ This means "return to that place."
✔ There
✔️ *Go back there now!*
2. ________ at the park.
→ This is likely "They are at the park."
✔ They're
✔️ *They're at the park.*
3. See if ________ are any pears left.
→ We need a subject + verb structure: "Are there..."
✔ There
✔️ *See if there are any pears left.*
4. ________ lots of fun to play with!
→ This is a common expression: "There is lots of fun..."
✔ There's → but since the blank is singular and we’re using "lots of fun", it should be There’s → but the blank is just one word.
Wait — actually, the sentence is:
“________ lots of fun to play with!”
This needs There’s → but we can only use one word. So it must be There as the start of "There is" or "There are". But since "fun" is uncountable, it’s There’s, which is There is.
However, the blank is meant to be filled with one of the three words.
So we fill in There → then "There lots of fun..." doesn't make sense unless we assume "There is" is implied.
But grammatically, it should be There's — but that’s not an option.
Let's check:
Actually, this is likely meant to be There's → but since the options are only "their", "there", or "they're", and "there" is acceptable as the beginning of "There is", we go with:
✔ There
✔️ *There lots of fun to play with!* → Not quite right.
Wait — maybe the sentence is missing a verb?
No — perhaps it's:
"There’s lots of fun to play with!" → so the blank is There (as part of "There is").
Since "There" is the correct choice here, even though it feels incomplete, we accept:
✔ There
5. Put the ball over ________.
→ This refers to a place: "over there"
✔ There
✔️ *Put the ball over there.*
6. I hope ________ having fun.
→ "I hope they are having fun."
✔ They're
✔️ *I hope they're having fun.*
7. It is ________ turn next.
→ Possessive: "It is their turn"
✔ Their
✔️ *It is their turn next.*
8. ________ you go, it’s all done.
→ This is a common phrase: "There you go" — meaning "Here it is" or "That’s it."
✔ There
✔️ *There you go, it’s all done.*
9. Where are ________ shoes?
→ Belonging to them → possessive
✔ Their
✔️ *Where are their shoes?*
10. Is ________ team going to win?
→ "Is their team going to win?"
✔ Their
✔️ *Is their team going to win?*
11. Where are ________ friends?
→ Again, possessive: "Where are their friends?"
✔ Their
✔️ *Where are their friends?*
12. ________ going to be in trouble!
→ "They are going to be in trouble!"
✔ They're
✔️ *They're going to be in trouble!*
