This is like all the different ‘theres-‘ how do you know which is the right one to use? Your? You’re? What do they mean, and what’s the difference?

Your

Your just means that something belongs to you.

For example:

That’s your pen.
She’s your best friend.

This form of your is describing posession.

You’re

You’re is what’s known as a conjunction- it combines two words: you and are.

You’re means you are.

Examples:

You’re my best friend.
Eat vegetables to make sure you’re healthy.

Write a few examples yourself! How can you illustrate these differences?

As you scroll through social media today, keep an eye out for these words and how people are using them.
