What is the difference in words there and their

The difference between "there" and "their" lies in their meaning and grammatical function:

"There"

* Meaning: Indicates a place or position.

* Usage:

* Adverb of place: "The book is over there."

* Expletive: A word that fills a grammatical role but doesn't add meaning (often used to begin a sentence): "There are many reasons for this."

* Pronoun: Means "that place": "I've been there before."

"Their"

* Meaning: Shows possession or belonging to more than one person or thing.

* Usage: It's a possessive adjective. It's used to indicate ownership or association: "Their dog is very friendly."

Here's a simple way to remember the difference:

* "There" is a place.

* "Their" is about ownership.

Examples:

* There is a beautiful park near my house. (adverb of place)

* There are many ways to solve this problem. (expletive)

* I went to the park, and I was there for hours. (pronoun)

* I borrowed their car for the weekend. (possessive adjective)

* Their house is much bigger than ours. (possessive adjective)
