The Between Vs. Among Test! Do You Know The Difference?

Gery Tillmanns, Nope!

17 / 20. You passed! You're a master of the English language! I really shouldn't have made those 3 mistakes though!

Gery Tillmanns, Between is a preposition which dictates pronouns be in the objective case. "Me" is the correct pronoun. The use of the subjective pronoun, "I" is incorrect. The preposition "to" works in a similar fashion, as do all prepositions. In the sentence, "He gave the money to you and me", the word "me" is correct. If you separate the pronouns, you would say, "He gave the money to me." You would never say, "He gave the money to I."

Agnetha, "Between" is a preposition which dictates pronouns be in the objective case. "Me" is the correct pronoun. The use of the subjective pronoun, "I" is incorrect. The preposition "to" works in a similar fashion, as do all prepositions. In the sentence, "He gave the money to you and me", the word "me" is correct. If you separate the pronouns, you would say, "He gave the money to me." You would never say, "He gave the money to I."

Dianne Gillett, , no. never has been, may be in the future, but I is still nominative only as oif now

Agnetha, no. never has been. may be in the future but I is still nominative as of now

Between you and I.

19/20. And it is grammatically correct to say between you and I not between you and me.

I thought it was between you and I?

Very easy! 20/20!

No, you're wrong!

You and I.

Thank you so much for the answers!

Emm Yo, that’s not old fashioned. That’s grammatically incorrect. “Between” is a preposition. “Between you and me” is a prepositional phrase. As is always grammatically appropriate, a prepositional phrase needs an “object” of the preposition. Hence the objective “me” and not subjective “I” is correct. And always has been. 😎
