Use there when referring to a place, whether concrete ("over there by the building") or more abstract ("it must be difficult to live there").
There is an antique store on Camden Avenue.
The science textbooks are over there on the floor.
There are many documents that are used in investagations
Use their to indicate possession. It is a possessive adjective and indicates that a particular noun belongs to them.
My friends have lost their tickets.
Their things were strewn about the office haphazardly.
Remember that they're is a contraction of the words they and are. It can never be used as a modifier, only as a subject (who or what does the action) and verb (the action itself).
Hurry up! They're closing the mall at 6 tonight!
I'm glad that they're so nice to new students here.
Understand the proper usage of the word you're. It is a contraction, or a combination of the words you and are. Other examples of contractions include doesn't, they're, and can't.
"You're a good friend." ("YOU ARE a good friend.")
"I don't know what you're talking about." ("I don't know what YOU ARE talking about.")
Understand the proper usage of the word your. The word your is the possessive form of you, referring to something that a person has, or something that belongs to the person in discussion [or, the person you are talking to].
"Is your stomach growling?"
"Your book is on the table."

As always, Jack is the one who got the ball rolling on that title. This is just to make sure she doesn't go crazy.

Hey. It's not that I'll go crazy. I'll just edit your posts in big bold red letters.

And thanks, Audy. I couldn't have explained nearly as well as Wikipedia. Even if I am boycotting the site for being the one place where students go for information. It's stupid. Wikipedia should not be allowed to be a reference site.

Much love from george.

Wikipedia is actually my homepage. xd
My school has contempt for it too. They're reluctant to let us use it (we have to cite refs as well), but they'll let us use the in-text references that it has.

Oh! I just realised what your signature says! yippee! I can get one!

And yeah. Our school - being nerdy - doesn't let us use it at all. We have to use proper references and cross-reference all our sites. Most of the time, I use books!

Much love from george.

My english teacher in 9th grade would automatically fail our papers if we use wiki. It is a good site for anime summaries though.
