Understanding the Use of "Between" and "Among" in English

This guide clarifies the distinctions between the words "between" and "among." "Between" applies when referring to two entities, while "among" applies to three or more. Key examples illustrate these uses, such as highlighting that "between" should not be used with "each" or "every," as they imply only two items. Understanding these rules can enhance your writing and communication skills, ensuring accuracy and clarity in your language.
