There+Variations

= There, Their, They're... = Novice writers often misuse and confuse these three words, which are known as homophones or heterographs (words that sound the same, but are spelled differently and have different meanings:


 * there:** (adv) **-** in or at that place  ; (pronoun) - used as a function word to introduce a sentence or clause ; (noun) - that place or position 

**their:** (adj) - of or relating to them or themselves especially as possessors, agents, or objects of an action   

**they're:** (contraction) - the combination of //they// and //are// 

Good reporters will never make this mistake; **//they're//** well aware that //**there**// is a distinction between these three words that will never escape //**their**// attention!
