Your You’re

Knowing the difference between your and you’re isn’t very difficult if you can remember that you’re is short for “you are.” 

Your is used as a possessive adjective.  “Is this your bicycle?”  “You are free to leave when your test is complete.” 

With you’re, the apostrophe is a replacement for the letter a.  “You’re going to have a great time at the circus!”  “You’re my best friend.” 

If you can remember that you’re stands for you are, you will have no trouble remembering when to use your or you’re.
