I found a site with cute comic strips about commonly misspelled words. For example, the picture above tells us the difference of their, they're and there. "Their" is used to denote possession. "They're" is a contraction for "they are". "There" refers to a location. Just be guided accordingly and you'll be on track.

I often interchange the words 'there' and 'their' especially when I need to compose a message immediately. Worse, I only detect my mistake after reading the sentence two-three times. I must be knowledgeable with the proper uses of these three words to avoid future mistakes.
ReplyDeleteWe sometimes misrepresent the words "their", "they're" and "there". This blog that Cristina has posted will help us understand more the differences of this words.

It is really confusing sometimes. That's why we should always be careful about the difference of the three. Wrong usage can alter the whole meaning of a sentence.
ReplyDeleteWe should always be careful in writing.
ReplyDeleteI admit that I usually interchange the usage of their, they're, and there. We should always think and understand the usage of each word in a sentence so we can construct a clear sentence.
ReplyDeleteThe link you have given is entertaining and educational at the same time. The points about “Ten Words You Need to Stop Misspelling” are explained well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this Tina. This post is very helpful.
ReplyDeleteI often commit mistakes about these three when I'm composing a sentence in a short period of time. Let us all just be reminded to be careful and remember the differences of those words.
ReplyDeleteThe comic strip is cute and interesting to read. I've read it twice because it is really interesting.
