Whoops, "you're" is a contraction; not a conjunction. Here is more:
* you're and your. While they sound the same in many dialects, in
standard written English they have separate meanings. You're is a
contraction for "you are", and your is a possessive pronoun meaning
"belonging to you". When in doubt, just see whether the word in question
can logically be expanded to "you are".
o Standard: When driving, always wear your seatbelt.
o Standard: If you're going out, please be home by ten o'clock.
o Non-standard: You're mother called this morning.
o Non-standard: Your the first person to notice my new
haircut today!
