My friends on Facebook, many of which speak English as their first and only language, always get this wrong and it’s really frustrating. Although I must say, I used to make this mistake too.
Your = Possessive
“Your” means “belonging to you”.
e.g. “This is your jacket”
“You’re” = “You are”
e.g. “You’re the best friend I have ever had”
NB When you see people write: “This is you’re jacket”, they are saying “This is you are jacket”. You can see the mistake! Don’t forget, in English, the apostrophe often indicates an abbreviation
