Homophones

a) Your and you’re are homophones. Why are they homophones?

- The meaning of homophones is if 2 words have same pronunciation but have different meaning. So 'your' and 'you're" are homophones.



b) Explain IN YOUR OWN WORDS! (no copy and pasting) when should we use your and when should we use you’re?


Subject PronounObject PronounPossessive AdjectivesPossessive PronounReflexive Pronoun
IMeMyMineMyself
YouYouYourYoursYourself
HeHimHisHisHimself
SheHerHerHersHerself
ItItItsItsItself
WeUsOurOursOurselves
YouYouYourYoursYourselves
TheyThemTheirTheirsThemselves

look at this pronoun chart. 'your' is possessive pronoun. But 'you're' is short cut of you are.




c) Write 3 example sentences using your and 3 example sentences using you’re. These sentences should be about YOU and your life and not be copied and pasted.

She is your classmate.
What is your room number.
What's your country?



d) Write 2 sentences OF YOUR OWN which contain both your and you’re.

you're the funniest people.
you're a student.
