Wednesday Wordsmith: Your and You're
Short, simple language guides and tips for writing and speaking
This is very similar to their and they're from last week.
- Your: 'It's your car.' (Possessive)
- You're: 'You're going to regret that.' (Contraction).
If in doubt, spell it out:
“It is you are car” is clearly wrong, so you need to use “your”.
“You are going to regret that” is correct, so feel free to use the contraction.
