The Last Grammar Lesson You'll Ever Need

[jerseyrugger76]

Few mistakes are made more frequently on EF than using "your" when you should use "you're" or vice versa. In this lesson, we explain the difference!

"You're" is a contraction of the words "you" and "are," as in the sentence:

"You're a dick."

By contrast, our friend "your" is a possessive pronoun. It shows ownership, as in the sentence:

"How's your dick?"

You see, the difference could not be more obvious or simple. Happy posting!

Waste (or waist in EFers case) of time. I've traveled this road before, it leads to nowhere.

doesnt matter bor, once you read a sentence with "your" in it the context tells you what it means. so the grammar doesnt matter, on EF for the most part.
