But they are very different in meaning and spellings. Making mistakes in using them can be humiliating. Let\u2019s have a glimpse of some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u201d vs. \u201cTheir\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo\u201d vs. \u201cToo\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFair\u201d vs. \u201cFare\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBear\u201d vs. \u201cBare\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWear\u201d vs. \u201cWhere\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWeather\u201d vs. \u201cWhether\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re\u201d vs. \u201cYour\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For instance,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Incorrect: <\/strong><em>I wish we had gone their for holidays.<\/em><br><strong>Correct:<\/strong> <em>I wish we had gone there for holidays.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u201d is highlighting toward a place, indicating direction. It also has an abstract function, for figurative places, as well as used in statements of fact, ordinarily in &#8220;there are&#8221; and &#8220;there is&#8221; constructs. On the contrary, &#8220;Their&#8221; is pretty straightforward. It always suggests possession by people or things. All the more explicitly, &#8220;their&#8221; is a possessive pronoun. It substitutes the noun in a sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Incorrect:<\/strong> <em>Can she come to?<\/em><br><strong>Correct:<\/strong> <em>Can she come too?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, &#8220;To&#8221; goes about as an adverb or a preposition. As an adverb, &#8220;to&#8221; shows something is moving toward a wanted position or coming into awareness. &#8220;Too&#8221;, on the other hand, only goes about as an adverb. It signifies &#8220;also&#8221; or &#8220;in addition.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n                <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5017566440575750\" data-ad-slot=\"3406615517\" data-ad-format=\"link\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n                <script>\n                     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n                <\/script>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">5. <strong>Apostrophe Errors<\/strong><\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never use an apostrophe when it comes to a possessive pronoun.&nbsp;<br><strong>Incorrect:<\/strong> Their\u2019s, Your\u2019s<br><strong>Correct:<\/strong> Theirs, Yours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never use an apostrophe to form a plural.<br><strong>Incorrect: <\/strong>car\u2019s, taxi\u2019s<br><strong>Correct:<\/strong> cars, taxis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nowadays, the apostrophe is not used for a span of years.<br><strong>Incorrect:<\/strong> 1970\u2019s<br><strong>Correct: <\/strong>1970s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">6. <strong>Unnecessary Articles<\/strong><\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a rule, nouns in English grammar take no article when used in a general sense, but if they are used in a particular sense the article is needed.
