The possessive adjective their is often confused with its homophones there and they're. Their applies to actions or possessions of more than one individual. There is a directional location. They're is a contraction of "they are".

Examples

Their: "They forgot their books."

There : "Your books are over there." "There are no books in their room."

They're: "They're in serious trouble for forgetting their books". (they are)
