It should have been "you're" in one instance.<br /><br />"Your" denotes something belonging to "you". Your book, your coat, your desk, your toys.<br /><br />"You're" is a contraction for "you are". You're my best friend. You're a beautiful woman. You're a big girl now. <br /><br />Your sentence should have read, "You're off on your next adventure."<br /><br />You're not alone by any means; this is such a common mistake. Your generation's teachers did not do a very good job, and I hate that.

I hope you don't mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
