What’s the difference between your and you’re?

You’re is a contraction of the phrase you are. Easy enough to remember.

For example:

    You’re my best friend!
    I think you’re the perfect match for the job.
    Make sure you’re healthy before you start training.

Any of these sentences would read the exact same way if you are replaced 
you’re.

Your is a possessive adjective used to show ownership. It is not a 
contraction. Your is usually followed by a noun (including gerunds).

For example:

    Your hair looks great today!
    I wish I had your energy.
    Has all your running around made you tired?
