there

0:04

they sound the same

0:06

but

0:07

they're each written differently

0:10

how do we know which one to use

0:15

welcome back to lingonie english

0:17

my name is jeff

0:19

and today i will show you how to use

0:23

there there and there

0:26

let's start with the first one

0:28

written t-h-e-r-e

0:32

there

0:33

is referring to a distant place like

0:38

over

0:39

there

0:40

it's the opposite of

0:42

here so again

0:45

here versus

0:47

there

0:48

to help you remember this

0:51

think

0:52

that

0:53

here

0:54

is inside the word

0:57

there

0:58

let's do an example sentence

1:02

i

1:03

live in the u.s

1:06

here

1:07

people like to eat macaroni and cheese a

1:11

popular food

1:13

brian

1:14

lives in germany

1:17

there

1:18

people do not eat that much mac and

1:20

cheese

1:22

brian is sad because there mac and

1:26

cheese is hard to find

1:29

caleb can't come here

1:33

on saturday so i will go

1:37

there

1:38

you can also use there as part of there

1:42

is or there are

1:45

for example

1:47

there are 50 states in the united states

1:52

or

1:53

there is water

1:55

in my glass

1:57

if this is confusing with there is and

2:01

there are you can check out brian and

2:04

emily's video here

2:07

[Music]

2:08

[Applause]

2:10

[Music]

2:11

[Applause]

2:13

our next there is the contraction

2:17

they

2:18

are

2:19

again it's a contraction there

2:22

you can join them together

2:26

you need an apostrophe

2:28

to replace the a

2:31

so again

2:32

they are becomes

2:35

there

2:36

do you know henry and siobhan

2:40

they are my friends

2:42

or

2:44

they're my friends

2:46

both of those are correct

2:49

these plants are beautiful

2:52

they are beautiful or

2:56

they're

2:57

beautiful

2:59

where are my keys

3:02

oh

3:03

there

3:04

in my bag

3:06

they are

3:07

in my bag so again they are in my bag or

3:12

they're in my bag

3:15

lastly we have their t-h-e-i-r

3:20

this there

3:22

is to show possession

3:25

it's like my

3:27

your

3:28

his

3:29

her

3:30

it's for example my sisters have dogs

3:36

their dogs are cute

3:39

or the dogs of my sister are cute

3:44

so again the dogs of my sisters

3:47

or

3:48

their

3:49

dogs so there is a word that shows two

3:54

or more people have something or possess

3:58

something for example if natalya and

4:03

louise go to school together

4:07

maybe

4:08

their school

4:09

is nearby

4:11

so again the school of natalya

4:14

and louise is nearby

4:18

their school

4:20

the boys have hats

4:23

their hats are red and blue

4:27

so again the hats of the boys are red

4:32

and blue

4:33

their hats or the hats of the boys

4:38

now let's do some practice

4:40

i'll say a sentence you decide which

4:43

spelling of their to use

4:47

i like my friends

4:49

they're very nice

4:52

which there am i using

4:55

they are

4:57

great

4:58

they're very nice they apostrophe r e

5:03

our next one

5:04

cape town is a beautiful city

5:08

i want to go there

5:10

which there am i using

5:15

it's t-h-e-r-e

5:16

[Music]

5:18

for

5:19

a place cape town is a location our last

5:23

one

5:24

andrea and angel

5:33

t h e
