"Their" means "belonging to them."
The homophone of there/their/they're

  • There refers to some place.
  • Their is the possessive pronoun of them or themselves.
  • They're is a contraction or shortening of 'they are'.

The word 'theirs' is a possessive pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun that belongs to two or more people or things that are spoken about (belonging to them).

Example: We bought two horses. The smaller barn is theirs.

  • The possessive pronoun 'theirs' takes the place of the noun 'barn' belonging to the plural noun 'horses'.

Note: The possessive pronoun 'theirs' should not be confused with the possessive adjective 'their', a word placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to someone or something.

Example: We bought two horses. Their barn is the smaller one.
