Between and among are another pair of words that are commonly confused. For most cases you can go by one simple rule: Use “between” when talking about two people or things, and use “among” when talking about more than two.

I think this should be just between you and me.

Let’s divide the money among you, Bob and Kathy.

GGR Helpful Hint - “Between” and “two” both have tw in their spellings. Keep that in mind to remember to use “betweenwhen you’re talking about two things!
