This one should be simple, but it throws a lot of people.

Your, from Dictionary.com:

[yoor, yawr, yohr; unstressed yer]
–pronoun
1. (a form of the possessive case of you used as an attributive adjective): Your jacket is in that closet. I like your idea. Compare yours.
2. one's (used to indicate that one belonging to oneself or to any person): The consulate is your best source of information. As you go down the hill, the library is on your left.
3. (used informally to indicate all members of a group, occupation, etc., or things of a particular type): Take your factory worker, for instance. Your power brakes don't need that much servicing.

You're, from Dictionary.com:

[yoor; unstressed yer]
contraction of you are: You're certain that's right?

Used in a sentence: You're not going to forget your car keys again, are you?
