The simplest of choices but, surprisingly, a large number of students seem to be unaware of the correct usage of 'between' and 'among'.
Rule: Use 'between' while evaluating two options and 'among' while evaluating more than two options.
Examples:
Rule: Use 'between' while evaluating two options and 'among' while evaluating more than two options.
Examples:
- John can't decide between a bike and a scooter.
- John can't decide among a bike, a scooter and a moped.
Important: Remember 'between' and 'among' will ALWAYS take 'and' and not 'or'. To say that 'John can't decide between a bike or a scooter' will be INCORRECT.
Wow., Literally.. I am unaware of this before.
