On Sunday early morning I was composing in a bit of a rush and overlooked an error in the title of my post about using the netstat command to see the connections a computer is making to external websites and gadgets. The mistake I made (Ive since corrected it) was to utilize “theyre” when I need to have used “their.” I know the difference and have taught the distinction to trainees for as long as I can remember. That stated, my mistake presented an excellent opportunity to dig up some brief video lessons about the differences in between “there,” “their,” and “theyre” and when to use every one..

Making videos about homophones can be an excellent way for trainees to keep in mind and discover how to utilize them. On Next Vista for Learning youll find this student-produced video explanation of the differences between their, there, and theyre.

GCF Learn Free uses this 90 2nd video explanation of when to utilize there, theyre, and their. The video uses little GI Joe characters to discuss the right use of each word. Evaluating by the YouTube comments below the video many individuals like the approach of the video however some do not like the usage a military theme for the video.

Free School uses this short, to-the-point explanation of homophones. The video isnt going to win any awards for imagination, but it works in its shipment of the rules for using their, theyre, and there..
