There, Their, They're

I guess I'll end the weekend with another quick lesson on how to write without sounding like an idiot.

There - refers to location. ex - I'm going there. Put it there. Are we there yet?

Their - the posessive. ex - It's their dog. I want their opinion.

They're - the contraction, meaning: They are. ex - They're coming over tonight. They're going to win the game.

Used altogether - They're going over there with their dog.

Again, take a nanosecond to be sure you're using the right homonym and you won't sound like an idiot!
