The spelling their is the possessive pronoun, of or belonging to them.

Examples: I read their homework. Their names were different.

The homophone (sound-alike word) is there, meaning location or existence.

Examples: There is the bus. I put the book there.

*A way to remember which is the correct spelling is that THEIR is spelled with an I (like the pronouns mine, his, its) and THERE is spelled the same way as HERE (here and there).

The words pronounced the same are:

there - location (not here)

their - possessive pronoun, referring or belonging to them

they're - contraction of the phrase they are

Example : "They're going there to have their lunch."

That is the correct spelling of the possessive pronoun "theirs" (e.g. the book was theirs).

The other possible spelling is the contraction there'smeaning there is.
