Last week, we began to cover some of the capitalization rules. What rule (or rules) is still confusing for you? If you cannot recall what our rules are, remember, they should all be in your grammar section.

They're is just a contraction (combining of two words) of "they" and "are"
Example: They're going to the ice-cream store.
There is how we give direction, or point things out
Example:
The ice-cream store is over there.
Or
There is the ice-cream store.
"Their" is possessive ( shows that somebody or something owns (belongs to) someone or something else.
Example:
It is their ice-cream store. ( meaning they own it, they are the owners).
Try this:
Their ice-cream store is over there on Winchester and Monroe; they're probably working over there right now.
Extra credit to anybody who posts more sentences correctly (does not have to be a compound-complex sentence like mine). Don't be shy! Post!

Great! Just don't forget to capitalize your sentence.

Another set of words we will discuss the difference between is "witch" and "which"
"Witch" is the magical woman whom can cast spells.
"Which" is the word you use to say "this?" or "that?", like "which one will you choose". It can also be used in your sentence to say "which is over there".
If you say "witch" is over there, I may think that there is a witch at the ice-cream shop. In that case, I would be sure to stay far away from that ice-cream!
