Your means it belongs to you- Is this your CD?
You're is a contraction meaning you are- You're going to school tomorrow, aren't you?

The apostrophe in You're means that it's a contraction of two words, You are.
Your refers to something belonging to you. Shows possession.

Your shows possessive tendencies such as your question is being answered.
You're is a contraction which combines the two words (You, and ARE) such as You're a great person is a shorter way of writing You are a great person.
Hope this helps.

ok it is very simple. Lets put it this way:
Your car is running good. Your would be something that belongs to you.
You're is just a short form of you are. Are in this case would be the verb to BE.
You're going to go to school. Means You are going to go.
I hope that answers.

Your says someone has possession. So your question is a good one. You're means you are. Like, you're going to lose 5 points for asking a question.

'Your' is possessive/belonging to you (like your coffee, your house etc). 'You're' is an abbreviation of 'You are' - for example, you're late, you're approachable. An apostrophe used like this is generally to substitute for a letter (in this case 'a', to make the statement informal.

Your means it belongs to you. It is your house. It is your car.
You're is a contraction for "you are".
One can say either: You are getting in your car OR You're getting in your car.

Your cat, your dog, your backpack. You're not going to the game? You're not eating the spinach? Your refers to something that belongs to you. You're is you are. You are not going to the game.
