常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "You're"?Which "You're" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×Your welcome.

You're welcome.

混淆了所有格代名詞 'your' 和縮寫 'you're'(= you are)。'Your' 表示「你的」,後面接名詞;'You're' 是主詞加 be 動詞,後面通常接形容詞或名詞作補語。

×Is this you're?

Is this yours?

將縮寫 'you're' 與所有代名詞 'yours' 混淆。'Yours' 用來代替「你的東西」,單獨使用;'You're' 必須後面接補語,不能單獨作為回答或受詞。

×We note that you're interested in the proposal.

We note that you are interested in the proposal.

在正式書信、學術或商業文件中,應避免使用縮寫形式。'You're' 屬於非正式或口語縮寫,正式文書中應使用完整的 'you are'。

×I think you're not ready.

I don't think you're ready.

在否定句中,'you're not' 雖然文法正確,但口語中更自然的說法是將否定詞移到主要動詞前,使用 'I don't think you're...' 的結構。原句聽起來較直接或帶有指責語氣。

×You're late yesterday.

You were late yesterday.

'You're' 是 'you are' 的現在式縮寫,不能用於過去式。描述過去狀態或事件時,必須使用過去式 'you were'。

×You're coming tomorrow?

Are you coming tomorrow?

在書面語或正式口語的疑問句中,必須將 be 動詞 'are' 移到主詞 'you' 前面,形成倒裝句。原句的語序是直述句語序,僅用於非常隨意的口語中(透過語調表示疑問),但在大多數情況下被視為不正確。
