THEIR — The Trickiest Word

Spelling THEIR

THEIR has five letters: T-H-E-I-R. It means 'belonging to them.' 'Their house is big.' The tricky part is the EI — it does NOT follow the 'I before E' rule! THEIR sounds like /thair/ but has EI, not IE. Memory trick: THEIR has the word HE inside: t-HE-ir.
