are you accepting requests? I love the way you did this, and sent it to my whole office. If you could do the same for were /we're and your /you're that would be great.
You're welcome
Someone had to step in while @srap is offline.
You did a great job. I'm going to add my .02.
YOUR / YOU'RE and WERE / WE'RE
The real question is when to use YOU'RE and WE'RE. YOUR and WERE are generally used correctly.
The apostrophe stands for MISSING letter(s). These are called contractions:
you
're = you+
are and we
're = we+
are
If you can substitute two words for the one, then it needs an apostrophe to be a contraction.
Examples:
Correct:
You are going to get
your car.
Correct:
You're going to get
your car.
Incorrect:
Your going to get
your car. (If 'you are' can be substituted, then it needs an apostrophe)
Try it:
You are going to get
you are car.
Correct:
We are where
we are supposed to be today, not where we
were supposed to be yesterday.
Correct:
We're where
we're supposed to be today, not where we
were supposed to be yesterday.
Incorrect:
Were where
were supposed to be today, not where we
were supposed to be yesterday.
(If 'we are' can be substituted, then it needs an apostrophe.)
Try it:
We are where
we are supposed to be today, not where we
we are supposed to be yesterday.
