3rd Grade English Lessons

Saw this on a profile recently and I embellished a bit.

Please remember these 3rd grade English lessons:

"To" is a preposition which begins a prepositional phrase or an infinitive.
"Too" is an adverb meaning "excessively" or "also."
"Two" is a number.

"It's" is a contraction, short for "it is".
"Its" is a possessive pronoun, which denotes "that which belongs to it".

"Their" is a possessive pronoun denoting ownership.
"They're" is a contraction for "they + are".
"There" is a word that expresses direction or location.

"Thereselves" is not a word.
"Hisself", also not a word, can be deemed colloquial or dialect for "himself".
