From the UWF Writing Lab’s 101 Grammar Mini-Lessons Series Mini-Lesson #61

There There is an expletive and an adverb of place. Correct: There are over one hundred applicants on file. Correct: I think we should put the couch over there.

Their Their is a possessive pronoun. Correct: They are proud of their heritage.

They’re They’re is a contraction for they are. Correct: They’re proud of their heritage. When spoken, there, their, and they’re sound similar, so careless writers tend to confuse the spelling.

To To is a preposition used to introduce prepositional phrases and infinitive phrases. Correct: There is a real readiness on the part of Congress to listen to American citizens.

Too Too is an adverb meaning “also” or “very.” Correct: Most of us think our taxes are too high, too.

Two Two is the spelling for the cardinal number 2. Correct: Give me two beers. When spoken, to, too, and two sound similar, so careless writers tend to confuse the spelling.

Your Your is the possessive form of you. Correct: Your incredulous stories amaze me.

You’re You’re is the contraction for you are. Correct: You’re supposed to send an editorial to the newspaper. When spoken, your and you’re sound similar, so careless writers tend to confuse the spelling.
