What is the difference between their and there?Answered On :2013-06-12 , Asked By : rutu

'Their' and 'There' are called homophones. Such words are pronounced the same but they have different meanings.

In fact, many learners also get confused between these two words and 'They're' which is a contraction of 'They are'
