Hey everybody, the pronunciation of they are in it's contracted form came up again in one of my lessons yesterday so I thought up a sentence to help you all review:
They're standing over there by their car.
Remember that these all sound EXACTLY the same in North American spoken English.
they're = there = their
同じ発音だよ！＾＿＾
So in my example sentence, they're means they are, over there means あそこ and their means かれらの or 方々の.
Let's rewrite the sentence now!
They are standing over near the street corner(far away) by the car that they own.
So as you can see, it becomes a much more complicated sentence!
