New American Oxford Dictionary

between

be tween |biˈtwēn bəˈtwin |(abbr.: bet. ) ▶preposition 1 at, into, or across the space separating (two objects or regions ): the border between Mexico and the United States | the dog crawled between us and lay down at our feet | those who travel by train between London and Paris. • expressing movement from one side or point to the other and back again: traveling by train between London and Paris. 2 in the period separating (two points in time ): they snack between meals | the long, cold nights between autumn and spring. 3 in the interval separating (two points on a scale ): a man aged between 18 and 30 | between 25 and 40 percent off children's clothes | the difference between income and expenditure. 4 indicating a connection or relationship involving two or more parties: the relationship between Pauline and Chris | negotiations between the two companies are continuing | links between science and industry. • with reference to a collision or conflict: a collision in midair between two light aircraft above Geneva | the wars between Carthage and Rome. • with reference to a choice or differentiation involving two or more things being considered together: if you have to choose between two or three different options. 5 by combining the resources or actions of (two or more people or other entities ): we have created something between us | oxygen and nitrogen between them account for 99 per cent of air. • shared by (two or more people or things ): they had drunk between them a bottle of Chianti. ▶adverb 1 in or along the space separating two objects or regions: layers of paper with tar in between | from Leipzig to Dresden, with the gentle Elbe flowing between. 2 in the period separating two points in time: sets of exercises with no rest in between . PHRASES between ourselves (or you and me ) in confidence: just between you and me, I don't think it is going to happen. ( in ) between times in the intervals between other actions: I have seen to the needs of my child, and in between times I have cooked the meals. ORIGIN Old English betwēonum, from be ‘by ’ + a Germanic word related to two . usage: 1 Between is used in speaking of two things, people, etc. : we must choose between two equally unattractive alternatives. Among is used for collective and undefined relations of usually three or more: agreement on landscaping was reached among all the neighbors. But where there are more than two parties involved, between may be used to express one-to-one relationships of pairs within the group or the sense 'shared by': there is close friendship between the members of the club; diplomatic relations between the US, Canada, and Mexico. 2 Between you and I, between you and he, etc. , are incorrect; between should be followed only by the objective case: between you and me, between you and him, etc. See also usage at personal pronoun .

PHRASES between ourselves (or you and me ) in confidence: just between you and me, he's a bit boring. ( in ) between times (or whiles ) in the intervals between other actions. ORIGIN Old English betwēonum, from be ‘by ’ + a Germanic word related to two . usage: In standard English it is correct to say between you and me and wrong to say between you and I. Why is this? A preposition such as between should be followed by object pronouns such as me, him, her, and us rather than subject pronouns such as I, he, she, and we. Thus it is right to say between us or between him and her and it is clearly wrong to say between we or between he and she. The mistake between you and I arises from a confusion between what follows a preposition and what ordinarily comes at the beginning of a sentence. Many people know that it is wrong to say John and me went to the shops and that the right wording is John and I went to the shops – after all, no adult would say me went to the shops. Some people assume that ‘and me ’ should in all cases be replaced by ‘and I ’, and so in trying to avoid one kind of error create another one.
