Do you remember the \u201ctheir and there\u201d Wacky Words (WW) from the other day? \u201cThere\u201d is another WW that goes with that pair\u2014it is the word \u201cthey\u2019re.\u201d <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
First, a little “there\/their” WW review is in order:<\/span><\/p>\n
1. There<\/span><\/div>\n
    <\/span>a. Has the word here<\/strong> in it: there<\/strong>.<\/span><\/div>\n
    <\/span>b. Remember, here<\/strong> and there<\/strong>.<\/span>
    c. Examples:<\/span><\/div>\n
            <\/span>i. There<\/strong> are seven cats on the barn.<\/span><\/div>\n
            <\/span>ii. There<\/strong> is one more piece of cake.<\/span><\/div>\n
          <\/span>iii. Put the books over there<\/strong>.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
2.Their                                                                                                                                               <\/span>          <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
    <\/span>a. Their has the word heir<\/strong> in it: their<\/strong>.<\/span>
    b. Their<\/strong> is a pronoun that shows ownership.<\/span><\/div>\n
    c. <\/span>We call this a possessive pronoun.<\/span><\/div>\n
    <\/span>e. Examples:<\/span><\/div>\n
   <\/span>         <\/span>i. Their<\/strong> home is up on the left.<\/span><\/div>\n
            <\/span>ii. I hope their<\/strong> dogs are not loose.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Enter the WW \u201cthey\u2019re.\u201d It\u2019s not really as tricky as it seems if you following TFT Publishers\u2019 (Training for Triumph) cardinal rule for understanding when to use a contraction and when not to:<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
When you are about to write with a contraction, say the \u201ccontraction\u201d in its \u201cuncontracted\u201d form\u2014and you will immediately know if you want to use that word or a different word altogether. <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Examples:<\/span><\/div>\n
1.     <\/span><\/span>We are going to they\u2019re party—SAY\u2026We are going to \u201cthey are\u201d party. WRONG! You need \u201ctheir\u201d—the party belongs to them.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
2.     <\/span><\/span>We should park over they\u2019re—SAY\u2026.We should park over \u201cthey are.\u201d WRONG! You need \u201cthere\u201d—here and there\u2014a place to park.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This works for any contraction, any time you are writing! If you follow this one \u201csaying the uncontracted word aloud before you write the contraction\u201d tip, you will never write a contraction when you shouldn\u2019t. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
