Your's vs yours? Which do you use for what circumstances?
Answer #2
Yours is always correct.
Your's would be interpreted as "your is" which makes no sense.
Same with the word you're. This is interpreted as "you are" which is correct. Too many people say "your welcome", when they should be saying "you are welcome".
Hope this helps.

Answer #1
Is this yours?
Yours is over there.
Yours are the best.
It's always incorrect to use "your's". It should never have an apostrophe ('s). Use "yours".
