In this episode, Linda takes a look at the differences between “between” and “among”. Enjoy the episode! <br /> <br />Linda is a German/American ITTT alumna, teaching English in South Korea. <br /> <br />Be sure to like and share this video if you find it helpful. <br /> <br /> <br />The difference between the two words between and among is often unclear to many. <br /> <br />So let’s break it down: <br /> <br />Between is used to refer to usually two (sometimes more) things that are clearly separated. <br /> <br />Choose between the red or green socks. <br /> <br />The word ‘among’, however, is used for things that are not separated but instead are part of a mass or a group. <br /> <br />So you would choose among all your socks and not between. <br /> <br />One more example to make it clear: <br /> <br />I am walking between Baker Street and 5th Avenue. <br />(here we’re talking about two things, two streets) and use between. <br /> <br />I am walking among my friends. <br />(here, we’re talking about more than two people) and use among. <br /> <br />Next time you’re unsure about which word to use, simply ask yourself if you are referring to something that is clearly separated or something that is part of a mass or a group. <br /> <br />That’s it for today. See you next time.
