When October comes around, signs of Halloween are everywhere. And we mean that literally – people love decorating their homes with Halloween signs of all sorts.

"Your" means belonging to you.
"You're" means you are.
This can seem confusing because the position of the apostrophe seems like it might indicate possession.  However, in this case, the apostrophe is for the contraction.

Example: Tell me when you're going to your house.
Example: It's your job if you're willing to take it.

You must first get involved. If you’ve made the decision to start learning English, that’s great! If you need some gentle persuasion, think about what you really want in life and what you need to do to achieve it. If learning English will help you, then it’s time to start learning.
