[QUOTE="Dr.%20Speller:1185267"]A Lesson: How to Use You're and Your 1. Understand the proper usage of the word you need. The best way to do that is to sound it out. There is a replacement test that will tell you for certain which word will fit. Read the sentence with "you are" in place of where the "your/you're" is intended. If it makes sense, then "you're" would be right. If not, then "your" would fit. You could also replace "your" with "my" in the sentence. If it fits, then use "your." 2. Write You're as a contraction or a combination, of the words you and are. Other examples of contractions include doesn't" for "does not," they're" for "they are," and can't" for "cannot." "You're a good friend" means "You are a good friend.""I don't know what you're talking about" means "I do not know what you are talking about." 3. Write your as the possessive form of you, referring to something that a person has, something that belongs to the person in question, or the person you are talking to. "Is your stomach growling?""Your book is on the table." TIPS: English can be complicated, because there's an exception to every rule. Ex.: Keep in mind that the word your will never be followed by the words the, a, or an. The word your will usually not be followed by an adjective, a word that describes, when that adjective is describing the person that you are talking to. In other words, saying "Your very kind" will almost never be correct. "Your very kind" would be correct if they were describing a noun, as in "Your nice son brought me my coat." Here, your nice is correct because nice is describing the person's son. Remember that you're is actually a combination of two words and thus fulfills two very important roles in a sentence or clause. Because it includes both a pronoun and a verb, you're will always be the subject and at least part of the verb of any clause in which it appears. Try replacing "your" or "you’re" with "you are" if you are unsure which to use. If the sentence makes sense, use "you’re." Remember that only "you’re" is a contraction. The apostrophe in "you’re" signifies the omission of the letter “a.” If the sentence does not make sense, you will know to use "your." [/QUOTE]
