you're right

Your or you're

It really isn't difficult to get this right.
We've already discussed apostrophes and possession.


Your is for possession

You're stands for you are

So try saying "you are" and if it makes sense use you're, if not use your.

… going to be late  Is it you are going to be late? Yes! So you're going to be late

you and … friends Is it you and you are friends? No,  so it is you and your friends


Test yourself:

1. Have you remembered … jacket?
2. Have you remembered … going to be working late?
3. … not going to believe this!
4. … dog has run away.
5. What's … number?
