Choose the sentence with the correct spelling of their/there/they're.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. They're going to leave their coats over there.
- Step 1: 'They're' = they are; 'their' = belonging to them; 'there' = place.
- Step 2: Only 'They're going to leave their coats over there.' uses all three correctly.
Answer
They're going to leave their coats over there.
Why not the others: Their going to leave there coats over they're.: all three words are in the wrong places. There going to leave their coats over there.: 'There' should be 'They're' at the start. They're going to leave there coats over their.: 'there' and 'their' are swapped.
