Your/yours?
Hi, I saw this sentence in an answer: "What does your have in it?" Is this also correct when speaking, or would I then pronounce it yours, like "What does yours have in it?"
Top answer
" is not correct in any situation, either writing or speaking. " is correct. We assume that "yours" refers to something previously mentioned or obvious from the context.
