Using Words Correctly 1

Some words sound similar but mean different things:

• its, it's: Its shows ownership. It's means "it is" or "it has."

  It's weird to make an olive sandwich. I don't like its smell.

• their, they're, there: Their shows ownership. They're means "they are." There refers to location.

  Why put olives there. They're too salty. Their flavor is odd.

• to, two, too: To shows movement toward something. Two means "2." Too means "very" or "also."

  I'll give my olive sandwich to my two cousins. They like pickle sandwiches, too.
