Hey There, They're, Their!

Are you there, Middle Schoolers? Or are you they’re or their? 

If you get mixed up on which there to use in your writing, here’s 

the drill:

They’re is a short form--a contraction--of two words: they are.

Example: They’re walking on eggshells, aka: They are walking on
eggshells.

Plain old there is a condition or a place.

Example: There are broken eggs right there--at that place--on 
the floor.

Their shows ownership or possession of something.

Example: Their scrambled eggs--the eggs they ordered--are rubbery.

There! Mizz C. is done.
