... but the original (and the best general answer) is at Is there some rule against ending a sentence with the contraction it's?. – Edwin Ashworth Jul 04 '17 at 22:19

If you say only "You're." (which sounds just like "your"), you'll be replied to with "My what?".
There are no contractions in English, spoken or written, when the only two words in a sentence are a pronoun and a verb ("You are.", "I am.", "He is." etc.).
