Teacher, I always forget how to spell "their". Do you have a trick?

Yes! Think of it this way: "their" has the word "heir" (អ្នកស្នងមរតក) inside it. And an heir gets possession of things! Also, "their" has an 'i', which helps remind you it's about people (like "I"). Hope that helps! ✨

Is "too" always at the end of a sentence? Like "Me too".

Not always! When it means "also," it's usually at the end. But when it means "excessive" (more than enough), it goes before an adjective: "It is too hot." or "The music is too loud." 🔊
