So i'm studying english. So far my biggest concern is the difference between their, they're and theirs. If someone could be an awesome pal an explain me the differences? i really appreciate it.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/their http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/theirs http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/they're I would make some clever way to explain it better but i'm not feeling 100% right now
Their: Possesive, adjective Ex: That is their (noun). They're: Contraction, "They Are" Ex. They're going to the movies. Theirs: Possesive, usually used after something Ex. That (noun) is theirs. Source: Former English Major, I switched when I realized that there's not really any jobs for people with English Degrees in English-speaking countries.
Now on to its and it's. its - posession it's - it is I just think if 'Tis would work instead, then I know to use it's.
I'll try, in the form of a convoluted story. So I went to their place and they where there, drinking beer, so I waited there a while to make sure that they're truly drunk of their asses there in the place that was theirs. I went to there where they keep their bicycles, and while I was there where they keep what was theirs, I made what was there, wich is their bicycles, mine. By taking their bicycles with me to somewhere not there. I wish I was there later to see their reactions when they realized that what was theirs was no longer there. and their dawning realization that they're in fact now devoid of bicycles.
please post or message my mistakes I need to leeaaaaarrrrnnnnn! ( unless it was punctuation, i wasn't paying attention to that, never really do. Also it's my second or third language, I don't know if understanding my grandparents frissian and being able to speak a few words counts. this guy has an interesting channel; but his frissian isn't nearly melodic enough. his dutch isn't very good either, he's pronouncing it like it's scandinavian wich it isn't. still guy has language skills I guess. here is what dutch is supposed to sound like and also pretty fun to watch so yay. Flemish and Afrikaans certainly don't count, Firkers need to learn to speak Dutch correctly.
meh I don't like Iberians, I don't like anyone, and nobody likes me/us. I like to think that makes us all european. ( not really, we all love everyone here in europe that's just how we show it right?) anyways, that's a bit tricky since it would probably be easier to learn English if your linguistic background was germanic. and while English did have some influence from the romance languages I think that would make it harder. I myself can barely understand your strange french italian and spanish babling
Yeah, I learned German as a second language, and I think having English as my first made it easier to learn.
I thought on study german, but life is to short to learn that language. After english i'll study french.
