Ah, homonyms, how do people confuse you.
THEY'RE/THERE/THEIR are homonyms. That means they sound alike, but are spelt different and have different meanings. Let me emphasise that there is a difference.
1. THEY'RE This is a contraction. (Remember those?) So, two words comprise it: they and are.
E.g.: They're (They are) playing the card game titled Rook.
2. THERE This is an adverb. That means that it is a word that describes a verb. It represents a place.
E.g.: The score sheet they're (they are) using is there (place).
3. THEIR This shows possession. That means that that something belongs to "them."
E.g.: You can tell they're (they are) terrible at the game; just look there (place) at their (possession) scores.
They're. Now the people of Wattpad can use them correctly. I should not expect to find any more of these mistakes in there stories. As long as there skilled enough to find the mistakes in this paragraph, anyway...

NonfiksiThis is going to work as follows: I go on Wattpad in a bad-ish mood. I will see multiple grammar mistakes; that's inevitable. Then, I can rant about common/proper usage in this very book. This is going to be fun.
