"You're" is a contraction for "you are."
"Your" is possessive, meaning it refers to possession, i.e., "your parents," "your boyfriend," "your car," etc.

The word you're is just a contraction of the words you and are. You use it as if you were using you are. Whereas your is a word to show possession of something.

You're is a contraction meaning you are, used in a sentence such as: You're going to go to town?, and Your is a personal, used in a sentence such as: That is your sweater?

Your-it basically means that something belongs to a person.
You're- basically is a conjugation of the words You and Are...so, when using You're, - it means YOU ARE.

you're is what you would use to say you are.
Example: You're a very good boy.
You're going to get in trouble.
your is what you use to show posession.
Example: What was your question.
Is this your pencil?

"You're" = you are. If you can replace it in the sentence with "you are," this is the right form to use.
"Your" is something belonging to the person you're talking to. EX. I am answering YOUR question now. (the you're in this sentence could easily be replaced with "you are.")
