Mnemonic Device
- THERE meaning "in that place." THEIR meaning "belonging to them."
- THERE can be distinguished by, "HERE and THERE." Therefore, "in that place" is the one ending in the word "here."
Variation
- THERE includes the word "HERE," so it is in that place.
- THEIR includes the word "HEIR," so it belongs to them.
Explanation
how to distinguish the words THERE/THEIR. The trick is spotting the smaller word hidden inside each one: THERE contains HERE (a place), while THEIR contains HEIR (someone who owns things).
