Category Word	Your	You're
Definition	Possessive adjective (determiner) used before a noun to show ownership or association (e.g., your coat).	Contraction of 'you are' used to combine the subject and verb (e.g., you're ready).
Part of speech	Determiner (possessive adjective).	Contraction (subject + verb).
Grammar rule	Place before a noun or noun phrase to indicate possession or relation (your idea, your keys).	Use when you mean 'you are' and the sentence remains grammatical after replacing 'you're' with 'you are'.
Example sentence (1)	Is that your jacket on the chair?	You're going to love the movie tonight.
Example sentence (2)	Please put your phone on silent during the meeting.	If you're finished, you can leave early.
Common mistakes	Using 'your' where 'you're' is needed (e.g., 'Your welcome' instead of 'You're welcome').	Using 'you're' before a noun (incorrect: 'You're book is on the table' instead of 'Your book...').
Quick tip / test	If the word must come directly before a noun to show ownership, choose 'your'.	Try replacing the word with 'you are'. If the sentence still makes sense, use 'you're'.
Formal writing note	Appropriate and standard in all registers when indicating possession.	A contraction; acceptable in informal and many neutral contexts but often avoided in formal writing.
Pronunciation	Pronounced the same as 'you're' (homophone), which contributes to frequent confusion.	Pronounced the same as 'your' (homophone), so choose based on grammar, not sound.
Visual cue / placement	Often followed immediately by a noun (your idea, your dog, your opinion).	Usually followed by an adjective, verb (participle), or clause (you're welcome; you're running late; you're the winner).
