In case you were wondering

your = something belongs to you, possession, as in "your new haircut is fabulous"

you're = you are, as in "you're a talented young lady"
their = something belongs to a group of people, possession, as in "that is their new boat"
there = a place or location, as in "put it over there" or "no, I have never been there"
