Here's a BETTER example of grammar goof.

"Your so awesome." has a grammar goof.

The correct sentence should be: "You're so awesome."

The second sentence is correct because "your" is a possessive pronoun. We are not talking about possession in this sentence.

"You're" is a contraction of "you" and "you are". When you only say "you are" instead of "you're", it still makes sense.

A grammar goof would be: You're friend is over there!

That would be a grammar goof because you would be saying You are, instead of your, because the ' in you're means it is a contraction of 2 words, and the two words are you are.

The corrected sentence should be: Your friend is over there!

Than the cat got the fish.
(Correct) Then the cat got the fish.

("Then" is the right word to use here, but the sentence seems to be missing something. What happened before the cat got the fish? From Mr Milloy)

"your bag is up in the tree." Makes me look a grammar goof.
The right sentence should be "You're bag is up in the tree."

(I'm not sure whether you are a grammar goof, but something looks silly there, though perhaps not the way you intended! From Mr. Milloy)
