On Sunday morning I was composing in a little bit of a hurry and overlooked a mistake in the title of my post about utilizing the netstat command to see the connections a computer is making to external websites and gadgets. The error I made (Ive considering that corrected it) was to use “theyre” when I need to have used “their.” I understand the distinction and have taught the difference to students for as long as I can remember. That said, my mistake provided a great opportunity to dig up some brief video lessons about the differences between “there,” “their,” and “theyre” and when to use each one..

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

GCF Learn Free provides this 90 second video explanation of when to use there, theyre, and their. The video utilizes little GI Joe characters to explain the appropriate use of each word. Evaluating by the YouTube remarks below the video the majority of individuals like the approach of the video but some dont like the use a military theme for the video.
