Use “their” for possession, “there” for a place, and “they’re” as a contraction for “they are.”

Solución

It looks like you’re asking how to choose among “their,” “there,” and “they’re” in three different situations. (These words are called homophones because they sound alike but have different meanings.) Here’s a quick guide: • “Their” is a possessive adjective. Use it when you’re talking about something belonging to “them.”  Example: “They forgot their keys.” • “There” can be used as an adverb indicating a place or location, or as a pronoun introducing a sentence.  Example: “I left the book over there.” • “They’re” is a contraction for “they are.”  Example: “They’re going to be late.” Without the full sentences it can’t be proved which change is needed, but here’s how you would decide: 1. If the sentence means something belongs to “them,” then no change is needed (it should stay “their”). 2. If the sentence is referring to a location or pointing something out, then change “their” to “there.” 3. If the sentence is meant to read “they are” (for example, when describing an action or condition), then change “their” to “they’re.” So, if your numbered sentences each use “their” in a different context: • For sentence 1, if possession is meant, keep it as “their.” • For sentence 2, if you’re talking about a place or location, change it to “there.” • For sentence 3, if the meaning is “they are” (for example, “They’re coming soon”), change it to “they’re.” In summary, the correct word depends entirely on what you mean in each sentence. Use “their” for possession, “there” for a place, and “they’re” as a contraction for “they are.”

Let's have some fun with these tricky words! The correct option is typically "they're" when you want to say "they are." So, if you were talking about something that they are doing or are going to change, "they're" is your go-to choice! Just remember that “their” shows possession (like their toys) and “there” refers to a place (like over there). For a quick tip: a common mistake is confusing "they're" with "their." To avoid this, remember that "they're" has an apostrophe, just like "it's," which means it’s a contraction. So, whenever you see they’re, think “they are,” and you’ll be golden!
