What's the difference between you're and you are?

Question

Can you guys give me examples on how to use both terms? I get confused on which one I should use.

Answer 1

Honestly, you can use both in the same sentence as they mean the same thing. You're is just the contraction form of you are. Best times to know when to use each, though, depends on the conversation type. You're would be more fitting for a casual conversation while you are would be better for a more formal type of conversation where you try to get your point across.

Answer 2

There really isn't a difference between them.
You're is the contraction of you are. An example would be: You're not going to take me right now. You could also say You are not going to take me right now.

You could be meaning your. Meaning to a pronoun.
Ex. That is your shirt. Or,-- That is your car.

Answer 3

You're is a contraction of you are, and they are really both the same. The only difference I can think of is that if you want to be formal or want to stress the 'are,' you might use the longer version.

Answer 4

YOU'RE AND YOU ARE IN FACT ON IN THE SAME. NO REASON TO BE CONFUSED HERE. A CONTRACTION IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE IN ANY WRITTEN OR VOCAL USAGE.
ARE YOU REALLY HAVING TROUBLE WITH THAT OR ARE YOU CONFUSING YOU ARE WITH YOUR, THE POSSESSIVE PRONOUN.
YOU'RE IS A NOUN VERB CONTRACTION. YOU'RE GONNA GET IN TROUBLE.
WHERE YOUR IS A PRONOUN OF THE POSSESSIVE NATURE. WHERE IS YOUR CAR?
DOES THIS HELP AT ALL?

Answer 5

You're is the abbreviated form of you are. ex- You're going on a cruise this summer.

Your is a possessive pronoun, it belongs to you. ex- Here is your ticket.

Answer 6

you're is just you are abbreviated
