between
國小小五上/bɪˈtwiːn/
prep.在…之間
in the middle of two
什麼時候用
between 用在「兩者之間」，among 用在「三者以上之中」。但這條規則有例外：講的是彼此之間明確的兩兩關係時，三個以上也可以用 between（an agreement between five countries）。
常見錯誤
- between you and me——後面接受格 me，不是 I。這是最常被抓的錯。
- between A and B 的連接詞一定是 and，不是 to（那是 from A to B）。
- 「三者之中最好的」用 among，不用 between。
常見搭配
- between A and B
- in between
- between you and me
例句
Between you and me.

The shop is between the bank and the post office.
那家店在銀行與郵局之間。
Between you and me, I think he is wrong.
私下說，我覺得他錯了。
自己試試看

這只是我們兩個之間的事，不要告訴任何人。
