and in this video I'm gonna tell you about the most common English mistake in the universe.

在這部影片中我要告訴你們全宇宙最常犯的英文錯誤

Now even native speakers make that mistake.

Its not so much a speaking mistake. It's a writing mistake.

這不太算是口說的錯誤，而是手寫的錯誤

It's actually to write the possessive adjective 'your' instead of

事實上是寫所有格形容詞「your」而不是

But you need to fix it if you want to speak proper English.

但如果你想要說出正確的英語就必須要修正它

Okay, so let's take a look at a few example sentences together.

好啦，我們一起來看看一些例句

This is the possessive adjective of 'you'.

But it's the contraction, so it's  "You are a pretty daughter."

但這是縮寫，所以原句是「你是 (You are) 個漂亮的女兒。」

and the contraction is "You're a pretty daughter."

而縮寫是「你是 (You're) 個漂亮的女兒。」

這裡的問題是「your」- 所有格形容詞以及

'you're' - contraction of the verb 'to be'

have the exact same sound in many English-speaking regions.

and it should be "you're"- you apostrophe 're'.

而且應該寫作「you're」-  you 一撇 re

所有格形容詞「your」和動詞「是」的縮寫「you're」之間的差異

當你講英語時，人們是聽不出差異的

but it's important to know how to write it and in fact if you look at Facebook

但知道怎麼寫很重要，而其實如果你看看臉書網頁

pages or Twitter accounts, even from native speakers,

Don't hesitate to correct native speakers. Okay?

別猶豫去糾正母語人士，好嗎？

Everybody should stop making that huge mistake.

I hope you now have a better understanding and you will not make that mistake again.

希望現在你們有更加了解，並且不會再犯這個錯誤
