If someone said their day had been bad, and I replied: 'I hope your's gets better' - is that right ? Or is it just 'yours' with no apostrophe ?

But surely an apostrophe is needed as the day belongs to him ?

I'm an English Teacher...no apostrophe, of that I am sure.

No apostrophes needed

Neither. Properly, it should be, "I hope your day gets better." However, yours without the apostrophe would be closer to right than with it the way you wrote it.

No apostrophe...that would just combine the words your & is, so you would be saying, "I hope your is gets better"

I know how you feel...I reckon there should be an apostrophe there. But apparently there isn't supposed to be one. Good question!

No apostrophe in yours. Just like its.

No apostrophe.
The way to tell is: if you would use the word "is" instead of hyphenating the "'s"
But it doesn't matter, we love fat pink hippos no matter what their grammar is like!

That's awkward wording anyway, but it would be "yours" with no apostrophe.
