Todays pickGreat Lakes: HOMES โ†’ SHAME

Mnemonic device

THERE vs. THEIR

  • THERE meaning "in that place." THEIR meaning "belonging to them."

Explanation

This is a memory trick for how to distinguish the words THERE/THEIR. The trick is spotting the smaller word hidden inside each one: THERE contains HERE (a place), while THEIR contains HEIR (someone who owns things).

Variation

  • THERE includes the word "HERE," so it is in that place.
  • THEIR includes the word "HEIR," so it belongs to them.
