When do you which use there or their in a sentence?

Here's a breakdown of when to use "there" and "their":

"There"

* Indicates a place or location: "The book is there on the table."

* Introduces a sentence and often precedes the verb "to be": "There are many ways to solve this problem."

* Can also be used in the phrase "there is/are" to indicate existence: "There are two cookies left."

"Their"

* Indicates possession or belonging: "The children brought their toys to the park."

* Refers to a plural noun or pronoun: "The students finished their assignments."

Examples:

* There: "I saw a cat sitting there under the tree."

* Their: "My friends brought their cameras to the party."

Key Difference:

* "There" points to a location or introduces a sentence.

* "Their" shows ownership or belonging.
