Do you know the difference between "your" & "you're" ?

You're is a contraction of 'you' and 'are', the apostrophe is put there in place of the missing letter. Your means possession.

We went to your house.

You're coming to my house.

*Do you know what my pet peeve is, Angie? When people answer a question with one letter, in YOUR case it was the letter 's' just so you can be the first one to answer. Then you change your answer to the correct one, but YOU'RE first so you get the 10 points. Hooray for the cheating teacher!!*

1. your is posessive and can be used in instances like:

"I like your shirt"

2. you're is a contraction of you and are and, for example, can be used describe someone. if you are using this form you should be able to replace the you're with "you are" and have the sentence still make sense

"I think you're smart"

your is a possessive adjective, followed by a noun that you possess (your car, your hair, your mama, etc.)

you're is the contraction of the subject you and the verb are. It can be followed by an adjective (You're smart) or by an article and a noun (You're a student.)

your is showing possesion of something...like i'm answering YOUR question...you're is a contraction for you are...like YOU'RE the one who asked this question....anyone who does not know the difference should go back to fourth grade!

Your is possesive "I like your car."

You're is a contraction for you are. If you can replace the word with you are and it makes sense, then you can use you're. So, you would never say "I like you're car," because you would not say "I like you are car."

"Your" indicates possession. "You're" is a contraction of the words "you" and "are".

I also know the difference between "two", "to" and "too", and "four", "for" and "fore", and "weather" and "whether", and "their" and "there".

And of all the other misused words people so readily place in their questions and answers here (not "hear").

Incorrect use of your and you're is quite possibly my biggest pet peeve in the world.

You're is the same as "you are." So, you'd use it if you want to say something like "I'm glad you're home."

Your has to do with possession. You'd use if you're saying something like "are your shoes wet?"

Your and you're are one of many commonly confused words. Your shows ownership, You're is short of you are.

Always substitute the words "you" and "are" for "you're" and you'll never get it wrong!

Go get your/you're coat. Go get you are coat?? Of course not.

If your/you're going to be late, call ahead. If you are going to be late.....yes!

I do, but it doesn't seem many other people do.

You're is a contraction for 'you are'...as in 'you're not a very good speller.'

Your is more possessive. As in "your house is on fire."
