Your, you’re (and yore)
Like there, they're, and their, these words have (depending on accent or dialect), almost identical pronunciations.
Your is a possessive pronoun:
Your painting (the painting belonging to you) is very good!
You’re is a contraction of you are:
You’re (you are) a very talented artist!
Yore means a time long past:
In days of yore, the colour of paints was limited.
