    Hey guys! Grammar is very important when typing and speaking correctly. Considering the fact that I've seen many people using incorrect grammar, I thought I needed to make a thread about it! First off, using the correct your/you're.
    Correct Your: Your dog is very nice.
    Incorrect Your: Your a good friend.
    Correct You're: You're a great person!
    Incorrect You're: You're build is awesome!

    Next, let's work on using the correct there/their/they're!
    Correct There: There is a cool build!
    Incorrect There: There cat is really awesome!
    Correct Their: Their house is really big.
    Incorrect Their: Their are 12 kids in the house.
    Correct They're: They're going to the movie theater after school.
    Incorrect They're: They're feet got tired after walking a mile.

    Want more? Comment below! I might make more Grammar Help/Grammar Tutorial threads later on if they help out!

    It's minecraft not english class; (<-- See that? I used a semi-colon correctly, a great example of correct punctuation) though I still appreciate the fact many of these fellow peers attempt to use correct grammar.
