their vs there vs they're

英文原文：

Georgina
Hi, I'm Georgina from BBC Learning English. Do you ever wonder about the difference between their, there and they're?

They are all pronounced the same but have different spellings and are used differently.

Their is used to show plural possession:
It is Phil and Elly's laptop. It is their laptop. It is Georgina and Roy's dog. It is their dog.

There is used to identify something for the first time and is often followed by the verb 'to be'. There is a cafe near our office, but it's so expensive. There is a bookshop nearby and it has some nice books.

They're has the same meaning as 'they are' and is often followed by an adjective. Where are Sam and Dan? They're late – they're never on time!

Bye for now!

你好，我是来自BBC Learning English的乔治娜。你有没有想过"their"、"there"和"they're"之间的区别？

它们都发音相同，但拼写不同，用法也不同。

"Their"用于表示复数所有权： 这是菲尔和埃利的笔记本电脑。这是他们的笔记本电脑。这是乔治娜和罗伊的狗。这是他们的狗。

"There"用于第一次确认某物，通常后面跟着动词"to be"。办公室附近有一家咖啡厅，但价格太贵了。附近有一家书店，它有一些好书。

"They're"与"they are"的意思相同，通常后面跟着形容词。萨姆和丹在哪里？他们迟到了——他们从来不准时！

现在先说再见！
