Anonymous I have a doubt about usage of sentence, suppose if we are giving a coffee to someone, which of the following sentences is correct? This for you or This is yours It depends on the circumstances. If two people are expecting you to bring them coffee, and perhaps one has sugar and one has not, "This is yours," or "This one is yours" would be the helpful thing to say; although "This is for you" is certainly acceptable.
