Do you make these grammar mistakes? 🧐
Confusing your and you’re has to be one of the most common grammar mistakes made in the English language.
People tend to mix up the two mainly because both words sound the same when they’re spoken so, what’s the difference? Take a look at the examples below:
Incorrect: Your early today.
Correct: You’re early today.
You’re is short for ‘you are’
Incorrect: Is this you’re pen?
Correct: Is this your pen?
Hint: If you’re having trouble deciding the correct term to use, just remember that if you can replace the word with ‘you are’ then you should select you’re. Otherwise, you should only select your.
