Their/They're/There
There - Used to describe a distance or location of an object/subject.
"The deer were over there yesterday." Tom said to his father, pointing between a few trees and a pond.
Let's substitute the word for the definition. "The deer is over [distance/location]." This makes sense, because Tom is saying that the deer were spotted at that location.
"That wolf is there prey." Dukey whispered to his Alpha, glaring at the lonely wolf.
Let's substitute the word for the definition. "That wolf is [distance/location] prey." That doesn't make much sense, because you are saying the wolf is at a distance or at a location prey.
Their - This word is used to describe a nonspecific gender or a grouping of members owning something.
Their territory is bordered by Y river and a coastline.
This statement says that an unnamed pack's territory is bordered by Y river and a random coastline. Meaning that the pack owns the territory. It's just like saying Ellie's ball crossed the neighbor's yard, or Ravenous Renegade's territory is by the Benevolent Wolf Pack's territory.
There territory is bordered by Y river and a coastline.
This is saying that the location/distance of territory is bordered by the Y river and coastline. Although it might seem correct, the way the word 'there' works makes the term not fit as well.
They're - This is just saying 'they are,' but abbreviated. Just like saying "don't" instead of "do not."
They're a bunch of moonrotted, caribou scat.
Basically, you said 'They are a bunch of moonrotted, caribou scat.,' which has correct grammar.
Their a bunch of morons.
Basically, what you said was 'They own a bunch of morons.' The way the sentence is worded is not proper grammar, either.
Too/Two/To
Too- Used with quantity. This is stating there is more than, or acts like 'also.'
"There's too many wolves to fight off." Anthony whispered to his leader.
Anthony is saying there is an excessive amount of wolves, which outnumber his own numbers.
"I'm bored." Ryan squeaked, sitting beside his brother. "Me too!" Ethan whined.
Ethan is stating he is also bored.
"There are two many wolves to fight." Anthony whispered under his breathe.
Two is a quantity amount, as in the number 2, and is, therefore, incorrect. Anthony is saying there are two wolves, and than many wolves, which makes no sense.
Two- The word form of the number 2.
Two wolves sat under the acacia tree, sharing the latest kill amongst each other.
