Their / they’re / there (Their is possessive, they’re stands for "they are," there is a place!)
Its / It’s (Use the apostrophe only if "it’s" is replacing "it is")
All ready / already (All ready means completely ready. Already means before the present time)
To / too (Too means "in addition," two is a number, to is used for everything else)
