I am by no means an ‘English Nazi’, but there are some basic rules that we (as ‘adults’) should live by. By ‘adults’, I mean anyone who has ever finished the 4th grade.
And because I am a giver, I am going to review some of the basic 4th grade English rules:
Difference between your and you’re:
Your= possession of something
Your house is on the right (if you’re in 4th grade you might not remember where you live).
You’re= you+are
You’re a sweet spirit, bless your heart (This was tricky it has both types in it).
Differences between their, there, and they’re:
There=reference to a place
The cute boy is over there.
Their=possession
They lost their tickets to the concert (So sad for them).
They’re=they are
They’re going to High School Musical 17 (Zac doesn’t look so adolescent anymore).
I could go on, but I don’t want to overload our brains.
Stay ugly, but more importantly-stay smart.
