There is used for naming a place, a thing, or the existence of

something.
* Theres food on the table.
* I have been there twice.
Their is used to show possession.
* That is their car.
* Their store is located near a mall.
Theyre is a contraction of they are.
* I hope theyre safe. (I hope they are safe).
* Theyre not attending the party. (They are not attending the party).
One effective strategy to test there, their, and theyre is to replace
them with here, our, and we are, respectively. You will see that if you
replace them with these phrases, they still sound like a correct
sentence.
* Ive been there twice. Ive been here twice. (Correct)
* That is their car. That is our car. (Correct)
* I hope theyre safe. I hope we are safe. (Correct)
If the sentence doesnt sound right, then, you know that it is not
correct. Again, this works most of the time, but not all the time.
