Use this to show belonging.

The puck is theirs. It is their puck.

The bikes are theirs. They are their bikes.

When you are talking about an item belonging to a person use the spelling with the i. It might help if you think.

If it’s theirs I can see people.

Ours!

There’s is a contraction of there is.

If you can’t say, there is, instead of, there’s, don’t use it.

“Oh look, there’s a boy cutting his hair!”“Oh look, there is a boy cutting his hair!”

“The hair on the floor is theirs.”“The hair on the floor is there is.”It doesn’t work does it?

Where are you?

I’m here.

Oh, there you are?

When you use there, you can ask

•Where is it?

•Where was it?

•where are they?

The answer could be ‘here’ or ‘there’.

Both have the spelling HERE.
