Let's start out with they're, their, and there:
They're is used when speaking about what a couple of people are doing.
Example: They're walking to the park (they're is really a shortened version of they are).
Their is used when speaking about people's possessions.
Example: That is their bike.
There is used in location.
Example: There is the store!
Now let's move on to your and you're (which, I would not hesitate to say, is probably the most common grammatical mistake on Runescape):
Your is used when talking about a person's possession.
Example: Look! There is your bike!
You're is used when speaking about what someone else is doing.
Example: You're peeling a potato.
Finally, its and it's:
Its is used when speaking of possessions, yet again.
Example: The dog looked at its bone.
It's is used ONLY when saying "it is", or "it has", or "it was"
Example: It's a nice day. It's very warm outside. It's sunny outside.
Then and than:
Then is used in sequences.
Example: I went to the store, then I went home, then I went to my bedroom, then I went to sleep.
Than is used when comparing things.
Example: I like your dragon armor. It looks much better than my bronze.
Where, were, and wear:
Where is used when speaking in terms of location.
Example: Where is the grocery store?
Were is used as a plural of the past tense of was.
Example: We were looking for you.
Wear is used when speaking of the way that someone dresses.
Example: Why do you always wear that? I am wearing long pants.
BROUGHT is the past tense of BRING, and BOUGHT is the past tense of BUY.
I hope this tutorial helps you with your spelling and grammar.
