    I am always confuse about this... what is better to write? YOUR or YOU'RE ?

    Is there different between both of them?

    I express my opinion hope it will be correct.
    "YOUR" it's a pronoun.
    For instance:
    - Why do you want to borrow my car? Why don't you use your own?
    And "YOU'RE" it's a short form from "you are".

    Maxim, you idiot -- you're wrong... hahahaha.

    Actually, Maxim is correct. The pronoun "your" shows possession of something.

    The other "you're" is the contraction, or short form, of "you are", which is the verb "to be" plus the pronoun "you".

    Good work.
