Revised
They're going to put their notes over there.
Why the revision works
The sentence needs “they are,” then a possessive form, then a word referring to place.
FIX IT
Three checks to make in your own sentence.
- Expand “they're” to “they are.”
- Use “their” when something belongs to people or things.
- Use “there” for a location or in phrases such as “there is.”
