You're / Your
You're is short for you are. So if you can replace the word with 'you are', then you need to put 'you're'.
You're not coming, are you?
You're getting in the way.
Let me check to see if you're on the list.
'Your' means belonging or associated with you.
Is this your house?
You must be out of your mind.
I don't want to spoil your enjoyment.
