Learning English Grammar the easy way – “Your & You’re”
“Your” and “You’re” are another set of pesky homophones that seem to cause a lot of confusion. No matter whether you’re from England or outside the UK, the only way you’ll get it right is to learn your English grammar.
“Your” is about ownership (similar to their). For example –
- “Is that your bike?” = correct.
- “Is that you’re bike?” = incorrect.
“You’re” is short for “you are”. For example –
- “You’re from the UK” = correct.
- “Your from the UK” = incorrect
