Question

Which form of a possessive pronoun correctly completes the sentence?

__________ brother is the newest member of the team.

A.
Yours

B.
Your's

C.
You're

D.
Your

Answer 1

A.
"yours" is used when the word associated with it is missing.
For example, let's say that you have a book, and I have a book.
Then I can say: "I like my book. Do you like yours?" Notice that "yours" stands for "your book". "yours" is used to not to have to repeat the word "book."

B.
"your's" This form is incorrect and does not exist.

C.
"you're" is short for "you are." It is not a possessive pronoun.

D.
"your" is the correct possessive pronoun to use when the word it refers to is next to it in the sentence.
For example:
"Your book is long."
"Your room is neat."
"Your school is far."
