Grammar Lesson Deux.

Welcome idiots, have you improved your horrible grammar since the last time we spoke? I hope so.

Perhaps, that was a rude way to begin things. In fact, most of you aren't even idiots. So, I take that back. I apologize for being so rude.

Today we will focus on "they're" along with "there" and "their" because this is similar to rocket science-heavy, heavy sarcasm- a lot of you have issues using this properly. Since I like to help people, I shall teach you the proper way to use all of these in a sentence. Let us begin, I'm going to drive right into it.


THEY'RE
'They're' is a contraction of they are. You may realize that 'they're' is similar to the contraction of 'you're'. If you made this connection, you're improving. A proper way to use 'they're' would be as follows:

"They're going to freak out when they hear the exciting news!"

"I am watering the plants, feeding the cats and housesitting for them while they're out of town."

"Everyone on Facebook thinks that they're so clever, but 90% of them cannot write a sentence properly."

Similar to the word, "you're" notice how if you were to replace the word "they're" with "they are"- just like can replace "you are" for "you're"- the sentence still makes sense and displays what you are trying to get across.


THERE
This is one is favored. Everyone likes to use this no matter what the context of the sentence is. However, "there" refers to a place. Complex stuff, I know. Let me demonstrate a few examples to deteriorate the cloud of confusion.

"There is the place where I stopped listening to my English teacher and became an illiterate fool!"

"The thing in which you are looking for will be somewhere over there."

"If there is one thing I know about Chemistry, it is that I loathe it completely."

Some improper ways to use "there" would be as follows:

"There my favorite."

"I don't think that is theres."

"That isn't theres."

I shouldn't have to explain why this is improper. However, a majority of you are idiots so I will elaborate a little-not too much though, you should know this. Those examples are improper uses of the word beacuse it dosen't relate to a place/noun whatever you want to call it. I feel like being lazy with my explinations since you all are being lazy with your intelligence.

THEIR
The word "their" is possessive. Possesive-if you do not remember from lesson 1-means you own something. To use "their" in a sentence properly it must relate to a specific thing a group owns. Let me demonstrate.

"Their dog is so cute!"

"Their ability to play guitar is beyond adequate."

"Is that their cake pan?"

See, easy breezey lemon squeezey, right? It's not that difficult. Each sentence demonstrates a certain possession.
Sentence 1: They possess a dog.
Sentence 2: They possess beyond adequate ability to play guitar.
Sentence 3: They posses a cake pan...possibly.

It's really not that difficult, people. Fix this immediatly.

Au revoir.
