They're: When it means "they are." The apostrophe stands for a letter not written.
Just like "he's" for "he is" ... etc. Go by the meaning.
There: Just remember that it means the opposite of "here," and add a "t" to "here."

possessive adjective, just like our, your, his, its, my. Our dog, your cat, their
pet.
There isn't really any problem, is there?

I hope someone appreciates me for exercising restraint.

I'm good at fixing semantics and improving clarity. (Despite my own sometimes periphrastic missives. 
)
