Your're (you're)

One of the most common mistakes in English grammar is confusing "your're" with "you're". The correct form is "you're" which is a contraction of "you are". "Your're" is incorrect and should be avoided.

Did you mean you're or your?

Many people often get confused between "you're" and "your". "You're" is a contraction of "you are" and is used when referring to the second person singular or plural. On the other hand, "your" is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership.

Here's an example to help you understand the difference:
You're going to love this movie. (You are going to love this movie.)
Is that your pen? (Is that pen belonging to you?)

Did you mean you are, yours are or your?

Sometimes, confusion arises between "you are", "yours are" and "your". "You are" is a contracted form of "you are" and is used to show the second person singular or plural. "Yours are" is the possessive form of "you are" and is used to show ownership. "Your" is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership. It's important to choose the correct form based on the intended meaning.

Here's an example to help you differentiate between the three forms:

• You are going to the party tonight. (You are going to the party tonight.)
• Yours are the best cupcakes I've ever tasted. (The cupcakes belong to you and they are the best.)
• Your car is parked outside. (The car belongs to you and it is parked outside.)

Did you mean it's or its?

Another common mistake in English grammar is confusing "it's" with "its". "It's" is a contraction of "it is" and is used to show the verb "to be" in its contracted form. On the other hand, "its" is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership without an apostrophe.

Here's an example to help you understand the difference:

• It's raining outside. (It is raining outside.)
• The dog wagged its tail. (The tail belongs to the dog.)
