Grammar crossword puzzle to practice using "their," "there," and "they're" correctly.

Let’s solve this grammar crossword step by step.

We are to fill in the blanks with their, there, or they’re — and use an apostrophe when needed (for “they’re”).

First, let’s remember:

- There = refers to a place or existence (“I saw it over there”, “There is a cat”)
- Their = possession (“That is their book”)
- They’re = contraction of “they are” (“They’re going to school”)

Now, go clue by clue.

Also note: The puzzle already has “T H E R E” filled across the top — which matches clue 1 Across: “Are ___ two birds in the tree?” → Correctly filled as THERE.
