common mistake that people make is the use of words 'You're' and 'your'. Where to use which word is little confusing, so let's clear your doubts about how to use them. 

YOU'RE 
'You're' is contraction of 'you are' it is 100% rule and it has no other usage. If you cannot use 'you are' instead of 'you're' in sentence it means the sentence is incorrect. 

E. g. 
  • Please send the parcel whenever you're free. (Please send the parcel whenever you are free. 
  •  
  • You're too busy doing your assignment. (You are too busy doing your assignment. 
  •  

    YOUR 
    The word 'your' is usually used before noun or pronoun to show that something belongs to someone or is related to someone. Like in the following sentences: 

  • Your uncle is waiting for you at the reception. 
  •  
  • came to return your book. 
  •  

    You're and your are not interchangeable and have absolutely different meanings.
