Are the words that are shown in all capital letters homophones or homographs Have you checked YOUR pocket to see if dropping coins?

The words in all caps are homographs.

Here's why:

* Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings.

* Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently.

In this case, "YOUR" and "YOU'RE" are homophones. "YOUR" is a possessive pronoun, while "YOU'RE" is a contraction of "you are".

The sentence is using "YOUR", which refers to the person being spoken to.
