- [Instructor] When my father told me that I was a bad driver, I responded with, "Only when your sitting next to me." All right, so let's think about this. We have your underlined. So what are we trying to say? Only when your sitting next to me. So it sounds okay, but
really when we're saying your sitting next to me,
we're trying to say you're, as short for you are, sitting next to me. Only when you are sitting next to me. And that wouldn't be
this your, that would be the contraction, you,
Y-O-U apostrophe R-E. This is you are. This is the contraction for you are, so this is what we would want here. We wouldn't want this. We would want, and they sound the same, that's your, you would
pronounce this you're, as well. Only when you're, you
are, sitting next to me. We don't want Y-O-U-R,
Y-O-U-R, this is second person, referring to you, but it's
something that you have, your. So it's second person possessive. So this is a second person possessive. So this is if we're talking
about something that you had or I responded with, if they're
talking to their father, it's something that their
father had only when, I don't know, your watch is on, or something that, it's indicating
some type of possession. So this is second person
possessive right over here, which we do not want over there. This is one of those mistakes
that I know I've done, even though I know it if
someone points it to me, or even if I look carefully, I, of course, this is you are while this is possessive. But sometimes when you're
typing emails really fast, this is a very easy mistake to do. Because sometimes you
just type as things sound. But this, we definitely
wanna go with you are. We wanna go with you're,
the contraction for you are.
