Question

When to use your and you're ?? No spam no Copy-paste

Answer 1

Answer:

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

● You're means you are

It's used in the same way as I'm -> I am

I am sure you know how to use I am. So try to replace you're with I'm.

For example-

• You're writing. 》I'm writing.
• You're thinking about writing a story. 》I'm thinking about writing a story.
• I think you're the perfect match for the job. 》I think I'm the perfect match for the job.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

● Your means it belongs to you

It is used in the same way as my -> it belongs to me

Try replacing your with my

For example-

• Your hand 》My hand (You can't say I am hand, it won't make sense at all)
• Your book 》My book
• You said that you couldn't believe your ears. 》I said that I couldn't believe my ears. (Notice that you is replaced with I )

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

● A sentence including both of them:

• You're my best frïend.

Now in this example, by replacing you're with I'm and my with your, we can get :

• I'm your best frïend.

It makes sense! Doesn't it?
