Can you explain to me what the diffrence between their, they're, and there is? I need some good explanations.

I don't think I realy get it because I alway use them without knowing wich means what.

Its making me feel dumb.

Oh yeah and I need a review of the basics.

Noun
Verb
Adjective
Adverb
pronoun

I cant remember the last one for some stupid reason.

I never realy understood what a conjunction was.

If you could help that would be realy appreciated. redface redface redface redface

They're is a contraction of "they are". An example is "They're going to the mountains this weekend."

Their is possessive, as in "They are taking their car instead of the train."

You can use both in the same sentence, like the one above. It would be written as "They're taking their car instead of the train."
