There indicates a location or amounts (I have gone there before. Thereis no way I can finish my homework).

Their is a possessive pronoun (Is that their car).

They're is a contraction for they are (They're going to the theater tonight).

The primary difference is how those words are used:

They're is a contraction of "they are". You would only use it in a place of "they are".

Examples:

  • They are going to the store. They're going to the store.
  • They are on vacation. They're on vacation.

Their indicates possession.

Examples:

  • It is their car.
  • It is their decision.
  • It is their turn.

There is used to show a location or to show amounts.

Examples: (I italicized the words that tell the amount there is describing)

  • Put it over there.
  • There is noneed in getting all defensive.
  • We will know better when we get there.
  • There is enough for all to have some.
