🚫 3 Common Grammar Mistakes You Might Be Making ✍️
Grammar mistakes happen to the best of us! Here are three common errors that often slip through the cracks—and how to avoid them.
1. Confusing Your vs. You're
🛑 Your is a possessive pronoun, while you're is a contraction of "you are." Mixing these up is super common, but easy to fix!
Example:
❌ "Your going to love this movie."
✅ "You're going to love this movie."
2. Misusing Their, There, and They’re
🛑 These homophones can be tricky!
Their = Possessive (belongs to them)
There = Refers to a place
They’re = Contraction of "they are"
Example:
❌ "There going to bring their dog over here."
✅ "They’re going to bring their dog over there."
3. Mixing Up Then vs. Than
🛑 Then refers to time or sequence, while than is used for comparisons.
Example:
❌ "She is taller then her brother."
✅ "She is taller than her brother."
💡 Quick Tip: Pay close attention to context when using these words—small changes make a big difference!
