They're, There, and Their


While it's completely understandable if you never memorize the exact past participle or the present progressive form of "lie" or "lay," it's imperative to your happy life that you understand and internalize the meanings and uses of "there," "their," and "they're."

Their is a possessive pronoun that indicates ownership. Why did the Stellas bring their hippo to the picnic?

There is an adverb indicating location. What is B-Shaves doing over there?

They're is a contraction of they are. They're going to be surprised when they find out that Dr. Gonzo plans on removing their heads during today's surgeries in order to start a brain farm in the empty field. You know, the one over there.

*Please respond to me by using all 3 forms of the title words at least 3 times each in a lovely and exciting paragraph. I encourage exaggeration.

they're going over there because their car broke down

So when i went over there to see what the group of people were doing, I noticed their dog had bit somebody in the leg. I realized that they're going to have to pay quite some money to help that person out.

They're going to the movies to see their favorite actor star in his newest movie. When they got there they realized there were no more tickets left. They sadly went back to their car, and said they're never going back to that theater, because this is not the first time this has happened.

I went there, to their house, and there was a ton of paint all over their living room floor. They're not very skilled painters. They definitely need help! So, they're hiring professional painters. But, first they have to go to their local floor cleaning store. There, they're going to buy the most powerful stain remover, so they can clean their floor. They made such a mess!

The Tigers went over there. Yes they were over there in Vestal. And much to their surprise the Bears were still alive. Granted they're pretty tough, but not as tough at the Tigers. Their plan was to kick those Bears booty's in a rousing game of football. All of the town of Endicott went to this game, they're pretty big fans of those Tigers. Hardly any of the Vestalites showed up because they're not cool. I even went there. But in the end the Tigers beat their opponent into the ground and today nothing is left of them. The End.

Oh my gosh look over there! They're walking their dogs. There are three dogs eating their bones. They're having so much fun with their owners. There is one dog with brown spots. They're all so cute.

Tony Seliga said...

Why did you go there? You they're very dirty people and their house is disgusting.

hayleyyy said...

LOOK OVER THERE! There are a group of people swimming in a lake, and their boat is floating away. They're oblivious.

Samantha Schoonmaker said...

They're running to the river. It is their favorite spot to run. I would like to go there sometime.

Cameron said...

They're going out to dinner because their grandma is paying for it. The resturant is over there next to the doctor's office.

Ooops! I did that wrong.

Here's attempt number two.


My brothers are running their faces over there because they're content to annoy the hell out of me for hours. I wish they would realize that no one cares about what kind of paintball gun theirs is, but I doubt they're going to. Sometimes I wonder if it's a maturity thing that will go away. Boys will be boys, but there's a time and place for everything, and the grocery store isn't it. They're going to have to learn eventually.

I would like to point out that guys are pretty good creatures. They're very skilled in many different tasks. When you say "Go over there!" they listen to you but sometimes their brains are a little off, but it's ok. We still love you guys!!

Um, I shouldn't have to do this, I got a 100% on that quiz thing today.

Anyways, Travis and Tim were wondering if they could bring their potato skins to class tomorrow... Even if you agree that it's a stupid idea, and that they're silly little pumpkin heads, it would be a nice gesture if you allowed it. If they do happen to bring in the skins, I suppose they would put them over there on that heater, so the smell is carried throughout the room.

That was a little random

They're going to need their shoes when they go there.

My friend's mom said to come over to their house to see their new puppy. When I got there, I asked where my friend and her dad were and she said "they're on their way home from practice." I looked out the window and there they were! Their new puppy barked as they walked into the house. It peed on the floor because it was so excited. They're going to have to buy carpet cleaner. But it will have to wait until tomorrow because they're going out to dinner tonight.

My friends and I went to the movies the other day. We had to make a decision on where to go. Their decision was different then mine. But, when we finally good there I enjoyed the movie. And while we were there we say these amazing looking guys who turned to us and said, "They're hottt!"

I went over there to see if their kitten needed more food. They're not going to be home all week. When i arrived there, their kitten was starving. I said "They're not going to be happy if their kittin isn't alive when they get home!" So i fed their kitten. Then I played with their kitten over there by piano. Let's just say they're going to come home to one happy, healthy kitty!

Sarah said...

So before I start my amazing paragraph I just want to say that I missed yesterdays blog so I guess I'll just go one day longer!!

I called some of my friends to see what their plans were for today. turns out they're going to go to the zoo too!! I was kind of excited. They're so cool, who wouldn't want to go to the zoo?!?! Once we got there, my friends realized that they forgot their money at home. OMG!!

I went over there, to the kitchen, and there were these crazy monkeys making banana cookies. They had their bananas splattered all over the kitchen. It was covered from floor to ceiling in bananas. They’re just having to much fun with bananas. Silly Monkeys.

Kate said...

I went over there to see if the kids needed help finding their dog. They're looking for their dog that ran away. Their dog was nowhere to be found, so we went back to their house. When we got there the dog was laying on the lawn.

They're going to the park for a picnic. They're going to swim, eat lots of good food, and fish. Hopefully there won't be too many people at the park!

Travis said...

I’m sure there is a way to learn about grammar without students doing it for homework, or on their blogs. They’re probably not too excited to have to do homework when their quiz grade was 100. Shaver, I don’t think Travis and Tim want anything to do with their potato skins, I don’t think they’re going to put them over there on the heat vent, that doesn’t have anything to do with what they’re going to do tomorrow, there in the communications classroom…. The End.

There are 3 dogs that Jen and I have to take care of. Their names are Buster, Missy, and Clark. They're all really humongous dogs. Often Buster sneaks out of the backyard and into the neighbor's yard. He really likes it over there for some reason. Luckily for Jen and myself, the neighbors don't mind. If Clark goes into their yard too, then Buster will certainly be safe considering Clark has superpowers. In case you couldn't tell, he was obviously named after Clark Kent. Anyway, these dogs are always fun to watch, even though they're usually acting crazy.

There are some people who think that their answers to life are always right but we know they're wrong many times.

Boondock Saint said...

They're going to have their dinner over there at that table.

Victoria said...

There are a group of people that have been getting on my nerves lately. This group is called the nose pickers.

First, they're not picking their nose right. Next they're acting as if they're the only nose picking society in the world. Then when picking their nose they only bring out one booger at a time. That is not how it's suppose to be done! Their boogers are suppose to come out at least 3 at a time. It's a rule. There are actually many rule in the world of nose picking but many people don't know about it. But, when they geting their nose picking under control, they won't be on my bad side anymore! I know you think I am crazy but there is really such a society!

P.S. Sorry Mrs. Krieger this was all I could think of.

cip said...

So there they were. They're all sitting there around the fire when their next-door neighbors' wild boar came out of the woods and began chasing their dog. They're all scared and running away, (leaving their dog to fend for itself), when out of nowhere bigfoot arises over there (behind the shed) and eats their grandma. They're so dissapointed now and do believe in the legend of their beloved bigfoot.

tash's scene said...

Today was a typical day for me, I found these kids digging up my backyard... so I walked over THERE and asked them what THEY'RE doing. They said that THEY'RE digging up my yard to find gold! I asked if I could help... They pointed to THIER shovels were over THERE and said that whoever found the gold first got to keep it and the money! So, I started digging and THEIR shovels weren't very good so it took us a long time to find anything! All of a sudden, someone shouted look over THERE!!! I looked and saw that my shovel was touching something shinny! They dropped THEIR shovels and ran over to see what I had. And, it turned out that I had found a gold mine in my back yard. Well now I have a lot of riches and THEY'RE all wishing they found the gold first! :]

Swift said...

Their mother is quite strange, I must say, so went they went over there i wasn't suprised they caused a scene. They're crazy!

The Stellas decided to bring their pet hippo on their vacation to Bermuda.They were going to leave Henry the Hippo with their vet, but they're currently frustrated with the doctor. Plus, Bermuda is awesome. It is so beautiful there. It has a beautiful beach and resorts the Stellas and their hippo can stay in. They're very excited to go there. I can't wait till they come home and Davis can tell me about his experience there. I bet they're going to have a ton of fun and so will Henry!!

marie said...

I'm with Brian. Our class is so smart that we shouldn't have to do this!

Look over there! It says vestal sucks in the sky! Wow whoever did that couldn't be any more correct. They're so intelligent to have put that in the sky. Their idea was amazing!

samyer2 said...

Oh no! That man over there stole thier soda!! They're tall, mean and hairy, kind of like the NBA basketball stars! (jk)

tom said...

As the class works in Communications, they're told to write in their blogs about "They're, There, and Their". There, now I have done it.
PS check out my political post (I personally find it funny)

Colin Rambo! said...

"Look, over there, a bear!" I hired a bear fighting team so I could be a winner. It turns out, their skills suck! They're nothing but crappy wannabe fighters!

adampav said...

Hey you stop over there! Their van drove itself into a tree. They're so cool.

richaa022 said...

They're traveling to Mexico because their family lives there.

Tim said...

once i got there, there wasn't any there there.

The Sabres lost again last night. They're gooing to have to pick it up if they want to make the playoffs. Once there, they will need to keep their act together to win the first series.

robinhood08 said...

They're going out tonight to see thier best friends. They will be going to their house to see them. Once they get there they will be having dinner and catching up on their past and they're going to play scrabble or some other game. And after that people are going to meet them over there too. then they're all going to go to the club to get their groove on.

StephyMarie said...

They're traveling to Ohio to be with her in her time of loss. Their aunt is a little nervous about her nieces traveling alone and is praying that they get there safely.

Their cat was ferocious. His name was montazuma, and they're extremely fond of him, even though when i go there, he tries to attack me, in a spot, over there, in the corner. They're completely oblivious to the fact that montazuma is their biggest downfall. I really just hate going over there, their cat sucks, and they're insane for keeping him!

Administration should roll down a long steep hill. They're overpaid and do not always know what they're doing. Their job consists of helping students achieve goals, but really they're over there working against the students. If they took any time to help the students, it would be to difficult and I don't think they could take time out of their busy bullshit schedule to help us anyways.

StalePhish said...

I told my friend "hey let's go over there because they're playing with their game". And my friend said "ok".

Ellis Island said...

There he is, that amazingly gorgeous boy. I saw him yesterday in the hallway walking with his friends. They're so lucky to be able to hang out with him. I would do anything for just a minute of his time. His friends should set us up on a "blind" date. I would give them their money, which would pay for the commodities of course, and then gorgeous boy and I could dine together and have an amazing evening. The End.

Why are you touching their project? They're right over there and are going to get really mad at you.
