Your & You're + The rules of capitalization

[Fungamer]

You're and Your
Some writers are confused by you're and your. A mistake involving these constitutes a grammatical howler.
You're
You're is a contraction of you are. It has no other uses. This is a 100% rule. If you cannot expand it to you are in your sentence, then it is wrong.

Examples:

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.
(Expands to you are – correct)

Doing nothing is very hard to do. You never know when you're finished.
(Expands to you are – correct)

Please ask Joan to post the parcel when you're in London.
(Expands to you are – correct)

You said that you couldn't believe you're ears.
(Does not expand to you are – should be your)
Your
The word your sits before another word (usually a noun or a pronoun) to show that it belongs to "you" (e.g., your car, your arm), is of "you" (e.g., your picture, your photograph) or is related to "you" (e.g., your uncle).

Your is a possessive adjective. (Other possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, her, its, our, and their.)

Examples:

Our expert will answer your questions about pensions and savings.
(questions belonging to "you")

Sarah doesn't look like your sister.
(related to "you")



Thats all for Your & You're




Now, for capitalizing.

1. at the start of a sentence

Bali is an Indonesian Island.
It is a lovely day.
2. with proper nouns (particular persons, places and things):

Her name is Mary.
She lives in Spain.
She was born on Tuesday the sixth of June, 1998. She lives at 10 Greenstoke Avenue, Newbay, Bristol.
3. with adjectives that come from proper nouns

They live in a Georgian house.
He loved Japanese films.
4. for the first and all of the main words in titles

The Great Gatsby
The Queen of England
The Heart of Darkness
The University of Delaware
The Second World War
5. For the pronoun 'I'

In the future I hope that I will be able to visit Turkey.


SO YOU DO NOT FUCKING CAPITALIZE EVERY WORD YOU USE IN A SENTENCE LIKE THIS: I Am Not Feeling Good, Man I Should Go Home And Rest A Bit, BECAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL GOOD IF YOU DO THAT
