Ok guys, so I see your and you're mixed up a lot. It's tough because they sound the same when we say it out loud, but the key part is "your" is possessive, meaning that it is directions ownership, while "you're" is a contraction, a mash-up of two words, "you" and "are."
"Max, is that (your/you're) dog?"
In this sentence, "your" would be used because the speaker is asking Max about whether or not the dog belongs to him. (possessive)
"Susie, (your/you're) crazy, that dog is actually a wolf!"
In this sentence, "you're" would be used because Max is saying that Susie is crazy.
Basically, if you can't figure it out, put "you are" in the sentence, and if it doesn't work, your, if it does, you're.
Hope this helps!
Comment, vote etc.
