Wah How to use "Between"

Between is a preposition
We use Between when there are only two objects in addition to the object we are talking about, and the object occupies the space somewhere in the middle.

  • The train runs between the town and the airport.
  • Please keep this secret between you and me.

  • Do you know the difference between right and wrong?

We also use Between when the objects we are talking about are positioned clearly or the relationship they have relative to each other is clearly defined even though there are more than two objects.

  • My villa is between the village, the river and the woods.
  • There is a disagreement on this issue between the gorverment,the police and the military.
