Among
or between
— which one should you use? In this lesson, you will learn about the common English words between
and among
, and about how they are different. These two words are often confused by both native speakers and ESL students. Between
you and me, this lesson is a must-see for anyone learning English.

hope you’ll answer me.
THANKING YOU!
Wow, thank you Emma!
You often teach things than I’ve not had an idea before. You do it well!
By the way, EngVid is my favorite website among English sites for learning.
I completely agree with you =) Engvid does magnificent lessons that ever I think that site is the best one in the internet
Thanks once more Emma! I was just thinking in this situation past days : ) One of my biggest problems in english it’s when do I use a double letter in a word or not. Do you have any suggestion? I would deeply appreciate! : ) Good weekend for engvid team!
nice
Very good lesson! Thanks Emma
Thank you, Teacher Emma!, your lesson are interest and usefull.
Indeed you start to explain when the rule of the 2 items doesn’t woork at the very beginning of your lesson, because you said: “the difference BETWEEN among, amongst and between” :)
Thank you, Emma, for this really clear and useful lesson! You are a lovely and very good teacher! :)
Emma
I am confused. What is the diference between AMONG and AMONGST?
Hope you will answer !!!
they havn’t difference, buy amongst is older than among
two simple words with a lot of means, but all is clear now. Thanks dear teacher.
thaks emma for that explanation I understood better now, but I have a doubt with the word “along´´. Is along like next to, between or among? I´d like to know the use of that word.
THANKS!!! and BLESSINGS!!! :)
Thanks Amma…

Thank you very much for the beautiful lesson!
Emma !!
Again a very useful lesson!!. I did 100% correct on my quiz And I’m sure this knowledge won’t fade away after.
But I have one question about AMID.
What is the difference Between AMONG and AMID?
All the Best,
Lionel
I Use amid when we have the In the middle of something. I mean surrounded.
But I don’t know exactly
That’s why I need your skills in order to explain clearly the inference between Amid and Among,
All the best
Lionel

Good job Emma:
oh, great! i can understand it,, thanks Emma!
It is good questions.Thanks Emma.
Thanks very much teacher Emma, you are very cool..
Thank you Emma, you are really good teacher.
please help me in this question
Are these sentences correct
keep this secret between us ( if they two persons)
keep this secret among us ( if they more than two )
I guess the for the 2nd sentence the word Amongst is even more appropriate because it’s related to the person that speaks.
Keep this secrets amongst us.
By the way does some ones know about the use of Amid instead of among?
It was “I guess THAT for the 2nd sentence….” ( Typing error)
Thank you, Emma. This is very helpful to me.
Thanks very much Emma, i got 10 correct. I’m really happy.

I’m not sure if you’ll reply, but i want to ask you a question, emma, if the word differences is in the sentence butnit is talking about a group of something or a mass, then do we put amoung, or between

Would you make a lesson on when to use WHICH and when to use WHAT, I have investigated a little about it but I’d really love to hear what you’ve got to say about it. I’m sure that will be very helpful to me and other students as well.

Couldn’t I say: “There’s a difference among the English accents in the world” (I’m talking about a group but using the word difference) or “The tips were distributed between you and me” (I’m being specific but I’m using the word distribute)… It would be great if you could answer my question! Thank you
Could anybody help me with these questions?
Thanks
why did u decide to use subtitles , i used this page to practice my listening =(
Hi Emma, can I say ” The Blood is distributed among body” ?

Thank you teacher!!!!!, very clear all
ohh Emma I got 100%. U are the best teacher !!!! You teach very clearly. Thanks.
Thank you teacher you my favorite , i like you lessons ,your lesson was helpful .
Your lessons are really wonderful! I could understand the difference between between and among very well :)
it is wrong seeing between you and I, but can we say “just you and I”? because there are songs titled so.
on the last two examples you wrote: among the trees and among the books, you can also say between the trees and between the books?, figure out you are talking about two books or two trees.
Can I say: the tips were distributed between Daniel and David?
Thank you.
Hello Emma Ma’am. I have got 9/10.I made 1 mistake where I wrote- the donations were shared between the charities.But I like the way you teach. So, thank you Ma’am.

Thank you for your compliment! Just so you know, when you don’t know if a woman is married or not, the appellation you use is “Ms.”, pronounced “miz”. So it should be “Ms Emma”.
Thanks Emma. You’re absolutely brilliant teacher. There isn’t anybody to don’t understand.
Thanks Emma for this lesson. :)

Thanks you Emma, you are an excellent teacher! It couldn’t be better.
Thank you
Hi Emma, thanks for the interesting lesson. What about the sentence: “I know a man who can jump between parallel universes”. In this case “between” is used, however “parallel universes” is a whole group. The single universes are not mentioned (like in “I know a man who can jump between universe A, universe B and universe C”.). Also, I believe that saying “I know a man who can jump among universes” would not be correct because it would mean that the man, surrounded by universes, jumps on the spot and not into the universes themselves. Is that rigth? Can you explain why “between” is used in the first sentence, please? Thanks. E.
weah 100 again . thanks my beautiful emma .i’m very proud of you my teacher
