FAQ in Grammar - Among or Between?
Among or Between?
"When only two are involved, the answer is easy: between. [Example:] Miss Bennet sensed a barrier between her and Mr. Darcy. With three or more, you have a choice. Use between if you're thinking of the individuals and their relations with one another.
[Example:] There were several embarrassing exchanges between Lydia, Kitty, and Jane. Use among if you're thinking of the group. [Example:] Darcy's arrival created a stir among the guests. |
