Understanding Their, There, and They're
In the year 2147, humans have established colonies on distant planets. As the leading scientist, Dr. Nova, prepared her report, she realized that some of her notes contained common grammatical mistakes. She noted, "Their mission was to explore uncharted worlds. There were many challenges, but they're confident in their team's abilities." She also observed that the alien species had a unique language, often confusing their language with ours.
