Поширена помилка:
Learners sometimes think “thy” is still used in modern everyday English. In normal speech and writing, speakers always use “your” instead. “Thy” appears mainly in older texts (like the King James Bible or Shakespeare) or in modern writing that is imitating an old style. Learners may also confuse “thy” with “thine”: “thy” is used before a consonant sound (thy house), while “thine” historically was used before a vowel sound (thine eyes) or by itself, though this pattern is not consistent in all texts.
