Their, there - get me ;)

Nope I wasnt listening at that point in the lesson !

Best way to remember I think is that out of 'there' and 'their', 'there' is the opposite to 'here' - so 'there' has 'here' in it. 'Their' is possessive. And 'they're' is for any time you could say 'they are' - so you can test the sentence in your head for that.

Remember with apostrophes, floks, the only time a possessive doesn't have one is for its. It's indicates 'it is'. but you'd say "the dog wagged its tail", no apostrophe.

The last one indioates the bike belonging to more than one Fred as in, "the bike belonging to the Freds"

I am crap with British geography, particularly the locations of towns, cities, and counties. 90% of the time, I don't have a clue where they are beyond the vaguest of ideas. I must have missed that day at school. I'm actually much better with towns and regions in Scandinavia, 'cos I had to learn them. ;)
