they're defintion
what is the drfintion of their
"their" is plural possesive. For example: That is their car.
I think that your'e answer is: They are (as if a group of people are doing something) (Ex.- They are going to Grandma's house.) Who is doing something? They are. That is the subject. What are they doing? Going to Grandma's house. Going is the verb. Every sentence needs a subject, a verb, and a complete subject.
they're = they are
their = possessive form of they
there = in that place

You are correct. "Their" is the possessive form of the pronoun "they." It is used to indicate that something belongs to or is associated with a group of people. For example, "That is their car" means the car belongs to a group of people.
To differentiate it from "they're" and "there," it's important to remember their meanings:
- "They're" is a contraction of "they are." It is used to describe a group of people or things performing an action. For example, "They're going to the mall" means the group of people is going to the mall. In this case, "they are" is shortened to "they're."
- "There" is an adverb that typically indicates location or existence. For example, "The park is over there" means the park is located in a specific place. It can also be used to introduce a sentence, such as "There are many books on the shelf," where it indicates the existence or presence of something.
Remembering the differences between "their," "they're," and "there" is vital for accurate communication in writing and speaking.
