There, their and they’re. This is a common point of confusion for many writers, especially they’re and there. I always remember it this way: They’re going over there to get their car. They’re is a conjunction of they and are – apostrophes (‘) always take the place of a letter that has been dropped, and in this case, it is the “a” in are. “There” is directional, as you can see with the “here” contained in the word. And “their” denotes possession, as you can see with the “heir” in the word, as a “heir” is someone who takes possession of something.
Its and it’s. Again, the apostrophe in “it’s” takes the place of something, and it is the “i” in “it is.” “It’s” stands for “it is,” as in “It’s going to be a long day.” If you can substitute “it is” for “it’s,” then you need the version with the apostrophe. If you are trying to denote possession, as in “the car needs its radio tuner set,” then you do not need the The general rule is that semicolons are used to connect two independent clauses – in other words, two sentences that could stand on their own. For example, instead of writing, “It was cold the other day. We all wore our heavy coats.”, you could write [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], “It was cold the other day; we all wore our heavy coats.” Each of these sentences could stand on their own, but to use a period [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it sounds choppy. By using a semicolon, it makes the writing flow better. Semicolons are generally a stylistic choice. However, to use a comma in this case would be incorrect.
Good writers still have problems with common grammar questions – and Microsoft Word doesn’t catch all of them. It’s amazing how a few grammatical problems can make an otherwise excellent piece of writing and make it look – well, less than excellent. Sometimes, though, there are simple ways to remember how to keep these grammar issues straight. Use some of these tips to keep your writing spotless and your grammar A-OK.
