Your vs. You're: How to Use Them Correctly!

Here's your explanation, and you're welcome!

You’re is a shortening (also known as a contraction) of you are. Here are some examples:

• "You’re learning the difference between two tricky words." (You are learning the difference between two tricky words.)
• "You’re doing a great job." (You are doing a great job.)
• "This is something that you’re never going to forget." (This is something that you are never going to forget.)

Your always comes before a noun. It typically means "relating to or belonging to you" or "made or done by you." Here are some examples:

• "Have you finished your homework?"
• "Your pants have a rip."
• "Can I borrow your pen?"

If you are still confused, there is a simple method for deciding which is the correct word to use. Start by using the words you are instead of you’re or your, and if the sentence still makes sense you can use you’re; if the sentence does not make sense you should probably use your.

• "You are baking a cake!" This sentence makes sense, and can also be written as "You’re baking a cake!"
• "You are cake does not taste very good." This sentence does not make sense, and should be written as "Your cake does not taste very good."
• "Tell me what time you are coming to my house for cake." This sentence makes sense, and can also be written as "Tell me what time you’re coming to my house for cake."
• "I am coming to you are house tonight for some cake." This sentence does not make sense, and should be written "I am coming to your house tonight for some cake."

The confusion with you’re and your most likely comes from the fact that we don’t just use apostrophes in contractions (like when we shorten you are to you’re, or I have to I’ve), we also use them to show possession (like when we write ‘my mother’s job,’ or ‘Jonah’s comb’). In the case of you’re, however, the apostrophe is standing in for a missing letter, and is not showing possession.

 

Ah Yes.... A post with a breath of Fresh Air. Can always count on the Z man for detour from the mondain "My Hummer Leaks" and their is a noise coming from my rearview mirror. Plus we get a Cat that teaches English and Chemistry. I think I'll get a C- for this post.

 

nice first post!!! sometimes i am amazed.!

 

I’m confused 🤷🏼‍♂️

MOD’s are pushing not to bring out old post, I ain’t wrong but if I am this post will be automatically removed.

question though, is it possible to auto-lock threads after a period maybe 24 months of not posting any new or relevant or is this a step up on the forums software?

 

You dug up this Four Year OLD Thread to provide your uninformed opinion. Thanks for that. Do not expect a warm reception or to be here that long if this continues.
