What's the short form for "you are"?

The short form for "you are" is "you're". It's a contraction where the letter "a" in "are" is replaced with an apostrophe. Just like how you'd abbreviate "cannot" to "can't" or "do not" to "don't". Contraction words are common in English and used in everyday language to make speaking and writing more efficient. They add a casual and conversational tone to our expressions. So the next time you want to say "you are," feel free to use the shorter and snappier "you're"! 😊👍
