Difference between "THERE" and "THEIR"

Now the queen's english might not be my 1st language, and we all make spelling mistakes from time to time, but I'm pulling out my toenails over this one..so here we go:

What is the Difference between There, Their, and They're?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Glad you asked. "There" (daar) indicates a place as in, "I live here (hier) not there (daar)."

It is the opposite of "here (hier)." "Their" (hulle/hulle s'n) is the possessive of "they" (hulle), as in "They (Hulle) live there but is isn't their (hulle) house."
Here you want to indicate that the house belongs to them.

"They're" (hulle is) is a contraction of "they are", so that to say, "They're (hulle is) over there (daar) in their (hulle) new house" means "They are over at that place in the new house that belongs to them."
