So I've noticed a lot of people struggle with grammar. Whether it's a genuine mistake or they just don't know the difference, I'm not sure, so I've decided to just put a little bit here.
YOU'RE, YOUR
YOU'RE - you are. YOUR - belonging to you.
THERE, THEY'RE, THEIR
THERE - a direction or place, as in 'over there'. that way. THEY'RE - they are. THEIR - belonging to them.
WHERE, WEAR, WE'RE
WHERE - a place, as in 'where is it?'. WEAR - clothing, attire, or where something has been used a lot, 'worn down'. WE'RE - we are. (unbelievable but i see this one used a lot in the wrong place.)
WHICH, WITCH
WHICH - a question, such as 'which one?'. WITCH - a female spell-caster. used in kids stories.
REIGN, RAIN, REIN
REIGN - the length a monarch (king/queen) is ruler for. RAIN - droplets of water from the sky. a type of weather. REIN - used on horses; the piece of leather from their mouth which the rider holds.
Now one of you have any excuses! More will be added when I think of them, or see them.
