Don’t miss the mark: Your vs. you’re

Want your writing to be free from this error?

“Your” is a possessive form of “you”, as in Did you remember to bring your ray gun? 

“You’re” is a contraction for “you are,” as in You’re one ace shot with that ray gun, Johnny!

You’re going to get this right from now on, aren’t you?
