What is the difference between 'your' and 'you are' in usage.
Thanks in advance
Welcome to the forum.Originally Posted by Julius J. Lema
"You're" is simply a contraction of "You are". Some people might tell you not to use "You're" in formal situations and that using it in an exam situation could either get you extra points or cause points to be deducted.
Did you get the impression there was a difference before you asked the question?

Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Sorry i think you haven't answered my question, i was asking of the difference between 'your' and 'you are' and not 'you're and 'you are'.
Or is your and you're the same thing?
'Your' means 'belonging to you'.
'Put your coat on.'
Always capitalise I.
I am very sorry. I read your post on a very small screen on my phone and I thought it said "you're".
Rover has answered your question perfectly.

Okay I got it, no problem at all
Many, MANY people write "your" when they should write "you're."
It's a mistake. Be careful with the use of "your" and "you're."
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
The worst sentence found (endlessly) on the internet must be Your a looser.

And don't rely on your spellchecker to put it right for you. My stupid spellchecker accepts the following as correct even though every word is spelt wrong:
'Yew no your knot aloud two reed allowed inn hear.'
('You know you're not allowed to read aloud in here.')
