Learn the rule: your / you're

+ "your" is a possessive adjective, indicating ownership of something.
      Ex: "That is your sock."
       Ex: "Where is your potato?"

+ "you're" is a contraction (combination) of 'you' and 'are'.
       Ex: "Do you know what you're doing?"
       Ex: "You're stupid."

+ Note:
! The two are not interchangeable.!
! Getting it wrong makes you look stupid. And ugly.!

Learn the rule: your / you're List-f10
