There vs Their vs They're

This, That, These, Those - Demonstrative Pronouns

A common mistake not only for students learning English but also for native speakers is the difference between There, Their and They're in written English. This happens because these three words sound the same when they are spoken. Words that sound the same but have different meanings (and sometimes spelling) are called homophones. Therefore they're, their and there are Homophones. Which words would make the following sentence correct? They're/Their/There playing they're/their/there video games over they're/their/there.

THERE

There is the opposite of Here. It means 'in that place' not here. A: Where is my book? B: It's over there. I will look for a hotel to stay when I arrive there. There is/There are = to show that something exists. There is a book on the table There are many countries in Europe.

What is the difference between There, Their and They're?

This, That, These, Those.

Demonstrative Pronouns

This, That, These, Those are called demonstratives and they are used to show the relative distance between the speaker and the noun.

Demonstrative Pronouns We use this (singular) and these (plural) to refer to something that is here / near. Examples: This is my car. (singular) These are our children. (plural)

We use that (singular) and those (plural) to refer to something that is there / far. Examples: That is our house. (singular) Those are my shoes. (plural)

Demonstrative Adjectives

You can also use demonstratives before a noun. These are called demonstrative adjectives. The Demonstrative Adjective needs to agree (= be the same form) as the noun. This party is boring. (singular) That city is busy. (singular) These chocolates are delicious. (plural) Those flowers are beautiful. (plural)

Summary - What is the difference between Demonstrative Adjectives and Demonstrative Pronouns?

Demonstrative Adjectives and Demonstrative Pronouns use the same words. The easiest way to know that difference is that Demonstrative Adjectives are always before a noun while Demonstrative Pronouns are before a verb or by themselves.

Everything else is the same. For example, both Demonstrative Ajectives and Pronouns use the word THIS (singular) to talk about something that is close to you and the plural of THIS is THESE.

PRESENT VS. PAST

If an action is near in time we tend to use this / these. If an action has finished or is in the past we use that / those. Examples: This is a good meal. (at the time of eating) Those girls we met last night were silly. (an event that happened in the past).

This is The expression this is is commonly used when you talk on the phone or you introduce people. Examples: "Hello, this is Peter." Carol, this is my friend Simon. Simon, this is Carol.
