Difference between "you" and "your"
Difference between "you" and "your"
I was helping my nephew with his homework, and he wrote, "You book is on the table." I told him it sounded odd, but I couldn’t explain why. Could you clarify the difference between "you" and "your"?

Hello! "You" is a pronoun used for the person you're talking to, while "your" is a possessive adjective showing ownership. So, it should be "Your book is on the table," not "You book is on the table."
In your nephew's sentence, "You book is on the table," it should be "Your book is on the table," because you're indicating that the book belongs to the person you're talking to (your nephew). Hope that helps!
