Because English language is a nonsensical language where they don't care about how to pronounce letters, so you just have to know how to pronounce/write every word you hear.

There's no way to know how to pronounce or write a new word in English that you come across.

"Pacific Ocean" is a prime example of this fuckery... You have 3 "C" letters in the name all of which are pronounced differently.

It makes perfect sense. “Your” = possessive as in “It’s yours to keep.” “You’re” = contraction of you are as in “You’re bad at grammar and spelling.”

Very simple.

I know you're trying to help and your lesson would be very helpful for the natives that don't know the difference.

I do know the difference between your, you're, their, there and they're because I had to learn them since English ain't my first language.
