Difference between "THERE" and "THEIR"

[slapfaan]

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."

I have the same issues with LOOSE and LOSE........... LOOSING and LOSING................

This confusion can easily be avoided if you pronounce the word intended aloud. If it has a voiced Z sound, then it’s “lose.” If it has a hissy S sound, then it’s “loose.” Here are examples of correct usage: “He tends to lose his keys.” “She lets her dog run loose.” Note that when “lose” turns into “losing” it loses its “E.” :ugh:

By the way, boet, there is no such punctuation as ".." in the english language. It is always a minimum of three dots (known as an ellipsis) and sometimes (for example, when an ellipsis is followed by a period, or full-stop) it may be four.

Now, are you pulling out your toenails, or are you pulling your toenails out...? That's a whole different subject, swaar .... :ok:

Their - means belongs to the person

There - is a place "over there"

They've means 'they have'

Loose = let go

Lose = mislaid



Such for 'O' level english!

People keep reminding me that they are paid so much not for what they do but for what they know....

I am guessing that there must be a few ICAO Level 3 native English speakers out there in the ranks.

Grammar is not a major consideration for pilots anyhow, and they only need to use the 'First person singular' in normal everyday conversation, i.e. I, me, mine etc.


:ok:
