3 Grammar Mistakes I see on Facebook almost everyday

I'm not perfect and so are you, I understand. I am kind of confused why people usually make these mistakes when typing - or - texting these words.

1. Your and You're

Your is an an adjective that signifies possession or something that belongs to the second person.

DOs
Your pen dropped.
Hello, what's your name?

DONTs
Your so beautiful.                

You're is a contraction of "You are", short for YOU ARE.

if you use this in the previous example:

DOs
You're beautiful.

DONTs
Youre pen dropped = You are pen dropped.
Hello, what's youre name? = Hello, what's you are name?

Use it correctly!


2. They're vs. There vs. Their

 Again, They're is a contraction of "They are", short for THEY ARE.

DOs
They're going to the mall.
They're planning to invest today.

There is used to point to a certain place.

DOs
That's my office over there.
There is a great restaurant beside the supermarket.

Their is a pronoun signifying possession for plural.

DOs
Their dog is cute.
He liked their show.


3. It's vs. Its

It's, for the third time is a contraction of "It is" or "It has". 

DOs
It's been a long time!
It's on the desk beside my mug.

DONTs
I saw The Avengers during it's premiere night = I saw The Avengers during it is        premiere night.

Its is used for showing possession.

DOs
I saw The Avenger during its premiere night.

Note: I sometimes make these mistakes too.
