I'm passing this on to my students. BTW.. Do you have a lesson on how to use 'LET'? Thanks.

[kenmochimochi]

You said "difference between these three sentences" I learned "between two things" "among three things" Which is right? Or different meanings?

[acromel]

@kenmochimochi That's a good observation. Ordinarily you'd be right but

"difference among these three sentences..." doesn't sound at all natural to me. I think it's because in this example the focus is on the contrast - the difference. If the example were "there's a cat among the pigeons" then `among' is correct (and sounds natural to me.

That probably doesn't help very much does it? Sorry!

[acromel]

@kenmochimochi I did some reading - I wasn't happy giving you that answer.

Between can be used for more than two things when they are separate and distinct. Among is used for groups or similar things.

So `between Nara, Kyoto, Tokyo and Okinawa, what's your favourite place?'

And `what's your favourite among Japanese cities?'

Hopefully this is a little more helpful!

`Amongst' is nicer than `among' :o)

[kenmochimochi]

@acromel Thanks.

@kenmochimochi

Actually, I looked it up. What is the difference between 3 things is fine.

But I think Acromel's answer is good! Let me know if you are still confused.

Do you have a english version of you site? I can't understand japanese.

@amenofis3

Sorry, but this is targeting Japanese students. The SUBTITLES say it all. Just read and you'll be fine! Good luck!
