JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

is the sentence telling you tht the narrator is pointing or showing a specific object? Remember the It's over there. As for the other one it is, It is theirs.

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

so B?

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

'Their' is used in terms of possession. 'There' is used in terms of location. Is the sentence referring to possession or location?

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

Yes, B.

Their means they own it There is like giving directions. It's over there They're is short for they are, so your describing an action. They are eating ham.
