Thanks for coming today.

The possessive is tough for me.
Are the following sentences correct?

#1. Thanks for coming today.
#2. Thanks for coming to our party today.
#3. Thanks for your coming today.
#4. Thanks for your coming to our party today.

I think all of them are correct but am not sure.

It's uncommon in my experience to use the possessive like this after "thanks," which is a bit casual.

Even "Thank you for your coming," strikes me as unusual, but I'm not prepared to say it's incorrect.

It's more commonly used following a transitive verb, where the gerund or noun is the direct object:

We appreciate your coming.

We regret your a

Hi,
The possessive is tough for me.
Are the following sentences correct?

#1. Thanks for coming today.
#2. Thanks for coming to our party today.
#3. Thanks for your coming today.
#4. Thanks for your coming to our party today.

All are correct grammar.
However, #3 and #4 do not sound natural, because the

Wow!
Shock!
But thanks!

It's a little bit tough for me to understand why #3, #4, and "Thank you for your coming," are uncommon. Why are they uncommon? Or what do you feel when you see or hear them? Or What's wrong with them?

"Thanks" is never addressed to anyone but "you", so specifying who performed the act for which thanks are be given is redundant. To be more specific: You are never going to say Thanks for his coming to the party. It's understood that Thanks for coming is thanking you for the fact that you came. There's no need to add more words.

Thanks, Clive and CJ

Sorry for posting two same questions.
I posted this question and waited about an hour but this question didn't appear on the board, so I thought I misoperated and posted the same questio again.

Please see the other question that has the same title.

OK.
Thanks.

But I think your is usually used in the following sentneces, i.e. in case a noun or nouns follow for.

#5. Thanks for your help.
#6. Thanks for your delicious juice.

I think your is unnecessary in #5 and #6 if your is unnecessary in #3 and #4 because these four sentences are the same.

The word "your" is acceptable, but not necessary in #5 and #6. Other words can be used instead of "your". The word "the" is also acceptable, for examp

northwindWhy is your unnecessary in #3 and #4 while it's usually used in #5 and #6?

I think Avangi already explained that, if I understand you correctly.

No your if you have an -ing word. Otherwise your is OK.
