Errors:
- "dont" → should be "don't" (contraction of "do not")

- "you're" is correct (you are), but needs proper context
- Missing quotation marks around the speech
- "said mom" → should be capitalized ("Mom") and properly punctuated
- No capital letter at the beginning
-
Corrected:
"Don't forget your umbrella," said Mom.
