What do you think?

Wat is het verschil tussen there, their en they're?

Pitfalls 1

there / their / they're

there: plaatsen en posities

                         Put the box down there.      There are five cards.

their: bezit, iets is van hen 

                         That is their box.

they're: afkorting voor "they are" (de apostrof neemt de plaats van "a")

                          They're never going to use that box.

Your turn!

Write the missing word (not the whole sentence).

Choose between there, their and they're.

I'll see you over ...... .

Tom and Jerry were just here. These must be ..... books.

..... my best friends.

Pitfalls 2

its / it's 

its:    bezit, iets is van een ding

                  The dog has a bone in its mouth.

it's: - afkorting voor "it is" (de apostrof neemt de plaats van "i")

                   It's not a bone, it's a toy.

Your turn!

Write the missing word (not the whole sentence).

Choose between its and it's.

Wow, .... a wonderful day today.

Look at the table.

where: waar (plaats)

                  That's where she found the gun. 

were: vorm van "to be"; een werkwoord

Your turn!

Look for the mistakes in the sentences and write them correctly.
