101 ; you're & your
random freebies.
hi. so this is the start of a new random series(?), 101. where i'll teach you some things that are necessary. or unnecessary, well, it depends.
the first lesson is about the difference of you're and your.
YOU'RE : a contraction of you are.
YOUR : possessive form of you; refers to something the person you're talking to owns.

bad example of you're :

bad example of your :
"Your pretty!" (my pretty is what now?)

good example of you're :
"You're good at this." ("You are good at this.")
good example of your :

"You're good at this." ("You are good at this.")

if you're still confused omg,isitrllydthrd?, you can do the following to find out if it's correct or not. (source:wikihow. haha.)
for you're, change 'you're' to 'you are'. "You're nice. / You are nice." "You're hands are nice. / You are hands are nice." you can go ahead and read it to see which sounds wrong.
and for your, change it to my. "Your cooking tastes good. / My cooking tastes good." "Your gonna be late! / My gonna be late!" go ahead and see which sounds wrong and which sounds right.
