How should we use “there”, “their” and “they’re”?
These all sound the same but have different uses. Here is a quick explanation of how to use each of these words.
There (refers to a place or is used as a pronoun):

There are many reasons to visit the museum.
Their (possessive form of they):

They’re (contraction of they are):

Do you know if they’re coming to the party tonight?
