Common English mistakes | They're, there and their
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2015
- Common mistakes in English are often made with the words "they're", "there" and "their".
English students often ask, "What is the difference between there and their ?"
Erreurs courantes en anglais. Voici un cours d'anglais qui explique la différence entre "they're", "there" et "their".
These words are difficult because they are all pronounced the same but they have different spellings and meanings. They are homophones.
"they're" is the contracted form of "they are".
"there" is an adverb of place and also an introducing subject.
Finally "their" is a possessive adjective used to describe who owns something.
I explain all of these words in detail in the video with several examples.
There are some English exercises at the end of the video to test your understanding.

thanks
Crown Academy of English: Could you provide the video regarding what are the differences between "your" and "yours". Thanks!
+Herman Chia "your" is a possessive adjective. Please watch -> ruclips.net/video/G0VXtU6_5b4/видео.html
"yours" is a possessive pronoun. Please watch -> ruclips.net/video/HZe5LI9oOLA/видео.html
Andrew
congratulations!! excellent video yours each day my notebook is how a script of a movie thanks at the videos, my doubt is, what differences between their and them?? cheers Andrew
sebastian alegria possession
+sebastian alegria "their" is a possessive adjective. Example. My parents have a car. *Their* car is red.
"them" is an object personal pronoun (third person plural) Example: "My friends are nice people. I like *them.* "
Crown Academy of English is possible could you explain me the different use of the words quickly and faster?? cheers
sebastian alegria Hello Sebastian. Please could you start a new comment when you ask me a question? It is easier for me to reply. :)
"quickly" is an adverb. An adverb describes a verb. Example: "He is running *quickly.*
"faster" is usually a comparative adjective. An adjective describes a noun. "faster" means "more fast" Example: I have 2 cars: A Ferrari and a Renault. I prefer the Ferrari because it is *faster.*
Best wishes
Andrew

Thank you very much sir for the video. All this while I have been pronouncing the word their incorrectly - "thee-year".
You have a soothing voice. If it is not too much to ask, can you sound like the late Sir John Gielgud or Sir Anthony Hopkins in future installments?

Congratulations
+jin oung lee Hello and thanks for your answers and sorry for the delay in replying to you. I have been on holiday. All of your sentences are correct. Well done, you have learned a lot from this lesson.
Don't forget that all new sentences must start with a CAPITAL letter. It is very important in English.
Best wishes,
Andrew
If it was: "There was a cup of coffee on the table" is "there" still introducing the subject but in the past instead?
