NARRATOR
Hey! What’s wrong? Can’t find your friends?
Well I saw their space hoppers. They’re over there!
Words that sound the same but are spelt differently and mean different things are called homophones.
Watch out! They’re over there!
So, before this gets too confusing. Their means it belongs to them, they’re is short for they are, and there refers to a place.

Careful! They know they’re not allowed to ride their space hoppers there!
Oh, there there…
Their, they're or there
Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings. 'Their', 'they're' and 'there' are homophones that often confuse people.
‘Their’ means it belongs to them, eg "I ate their sweets".
‘They're’ is short for 'they are' eg "They are going to be cross".
‘There’ refers to a place, eg "I'm going to hide over there".
