A number of people seem to get confused with:
"hear", "here", "there" and "their".
Just remember:
that you hear
with your ear.
^^^
Remember that here
goes with there.
^^^^
That only leaves "their", meaning "belonging to them".
Remember also that the apostrophe in "you're" means
that something has been left out, it is a contraction
of "you are", thus leaving "your" as meaning "belonging
to you".
Likewise for "they're", a contraction of "they are" and
"it's", a contraction of "it is".
When considering "yours", "theirs" "its" etc. remember that
"our's" is the exception requiring an aposrophe.
Sorry about that, but the rules are simple enough and
easily learned. It seems that they are no longer taught
in our schools. 8-(
