If you'd prefer not to hear my latest rant, feel free to skip today. I again am struggling with another mis-use of terms.
THEIR
THERE
I was really confused trying to read "Will you take your kids their today?" Huh? Take their what? and on the heels of that faux pas, I found myself scratching my head at the notion that "their is no way I'd take there book."
It's even hard to type incorrectly.. you can imagine how this grates.
PLEASE.. try to get it together.
There is an adverb-
: in or at that place —often used interjectionally
2: to or into that place : thither
3: at that point or stage
4: in that matter, respect, or relation
5—used interjectionally to express satisfaction, approval, encouragement or sympathy, or defiance
See there defined for English-language learners »
THEIR is an adjective- and possessive
1: of or relating to them or themselves especially as possessors, agents, or objects of an action
2: his or her : his, her, its —used with an indefinite third person singular antecedent
