Common mistakes-your and you’re “Your” shows possession. “It’s your fault.” “It’s your prize.” “It’s your food.” “You’re” is a contraction for “You are.” “You’re going to have a great time!” “You’re going to regret eating that.” “You’re the best!” You’re really going to impress other people with your great grammar.
Their, there, and they’re There shows location. “There is where they found the buried treasure.” Their shows possession. “It is their buried treasure.” They’re is a contraction of ‘they are.’ “They’re going to be rich.” “They’re going to be rich when they take their buried treasure to that bank over there.”
And please remember to…. capitalize the pronoun “I.” “i’d really like it if i could remember where in the world i put the buried treasure when i started to go to the bank.” “I’d really like it if I could remember where in the world I put the buried treasure when I started to go to the bank.”
