I don't know if you are having trouble with all of the possessives, but here is my chart:
My- Mein
Your (informal)- Dein
Your (formal)- Ihr
His- Sein
Her- Ihr
Our- Unser
Your (plural informal)- Euer
Their- Ihr
Now if you understand the other possessives besides Euch and Eurer, then these two will seem easy once you see how they work. :)
To say:
"My beer"- You would use Mein Bier because "Bier" is neuter. Das Bier
"My computer"- You would use the same possesive "Mein Computer" because it is Masculine. Der Computer
"My cup"- However is different. You would say "Meine Tasse" and add the "e" at the end because the noun is feminine. Die Tasse
"My cups" You would say "Meine Tassen" and also add the "e" because the noun is plural. Die Tassen
So... same thing with Euer and Eure. Eure is a different form of Euer
To say:
"Your beer"- You would say "Euer Bier" (Of course you would always claim this beer as your own instead of give it away in real life, but this is just an example!) because beer is neuter
"Your computer"- You would say "Euer Computer" because computer is masculine
"Your cup" - However you would say "Eure Tasse" and switch the last two letters because the noun is feminine.
"Your cups"- You would say "Eure Tassen" and again switch the last two letters because the noun is plural.
Easy kind of way to remember Eure oder Euer is (or had to make a quick guess): Many nouns that end in "r" are masculine so you would use Euer. Many nouns that end in "e" are feminine so use the one that ends in "e" Eure.
Hope this helps!
