๐ Word-up! ๐
This has GOT to be the word I notice misspelled on social posts more than any other...
YOUR vs YOU'RE
It's a super simple one to remember, but perhaps that's why it so often falls through the proof-reading gap - particularly if your posting in a hurry!
... see what I did there?
No?
That proves it then ๐
Here's how to be sure you get it right...
๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
Read your sentence replacing 'your/you're' with YOU ARE.
If it sounds right, choose YOU'RE.
If not, it's YOUR.
๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
YOU'RE is a contraction.
It's a shortening of YOU ARE with the ' in place of the A at the start of ARE.
YOUR is a possessive pronoun.
It's used to show that something belongs to you.
Some examples...
๐นThis is your laptop. (It belongs to you)
๐นIt's all your fault. (The fault belongs to you)
๐นCall me when you're free. (You are free)
๐นYou're welcome. (You are welcome)
Got it?
You're on your own now ๐
