we're

You and I

We're is the contraction of we are, used in casual speech and writing.

We're going to the movies tonight.

We're not sure what happened.

Like other contractions, it appears more often in informal contexts than in formal writing, where the full form is preferred.

It is frequently confused in writing with the possessive pronoun our or the adverb where, though these sound different when spoken.
