What is the difference between homonym your and

You are likely asking about the difference between "your" and "you're." These are homophones, words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings.

* Your: This is a possessive adjective, meaning "belonging to you." It's used to show ownership.

* Example: "Take your time."

* You're: This is a contraction of "you are." It's used to express a statement or question.

* Example: "You're welcome."

Here's a simple way to remember the difference:

* Your has the "U" in it, like the "U" in "ownership."

* You're has the "apostrophe," which indicates a contraction.
