The difference between It’s and Its:

Use It’s as a contraction for it is or it has. Ex:It’s the only way I can remember the rule.

Use its when you mean that it has a quality or possession.

Tip: If you can replace it’s in your sentence with it is or it has, then your word is it's; otherwise, your word is its.

The difference between Your and Youre

Your is used to describe something as belonging to you, and is nearly always followed by a noun.

You're is the contraction of "you are" and is often followed by the present participle.

Tip: if you're able to replace the word with "you are," you're saying you're. Otherwise, your only choice is your.
